The
administrative center of CIMA is the Florence Research Unit. In
the past twenty-five years, its scholars have been an active part,
and often promoters, of a number of multinational research projects.
The most recent research project focuses on the following topic:
"The Collapse of the Soviet Empire, 1985-91". The Unit
is the administrative core of a Ph.D. program in the History of
International Relations and of two Master Programs in "Euro-Mediterranean
Affairs" and "Nuclear Fuel Cycle Management and Control
for Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy and Non-Proliferation Policy",
coordinated by Prof. Max Guderzo. The Unit promotes several EU programs,
such as Socrates, Tempus and the Seventh FP, and many international
exchange agreements, including doctoral and post-doctoral programs
in collaboration with the MGIMO (Moscow), the Woodrow Wilson Center
for International Scholars (Washington, D.C.), the National Security
Archive (Washington, D.C.), and the Universities of Bejing, Nanjing
and Shanghai.
