Activities

At any point in time, the IPS is involved in several projects.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
  • When the Soviet Union sought to weaken NATO in the Netherlands and Denmark, the IPS undertook efforts such as planting suitable articles and arranging international conferences.
  • The IPS opposed the Iraqi no-fly-zone that was set up to protect Kurds and Shias after the Gulf War.
  • The IPS opposed the NATO war undertaken to stop Slobodan Milošević's alleged ethnic cleansing campaign in Kosovo.

IPS members played key roles in the civil rights and anti-war movements of the 1960s, in the women's and environmental movements of the 1970s, and in the peace, anti-apartheid, and anti-intervention movements of the 1980s.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:

    “Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
    —Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)

    “When mundane, lowly activities are at stake, too much insight is detrimental—far-sightedness errs in immediate concerns.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
    —Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
