DESCRIPTION:William H. Lambright\, Professor in Public Administration &amp\
 ; International Affairs at the Syracuse University Maxwell School. &nbsp\;
 In 2011\, the final segment of the International Space Station (ISS) was j
 oined to existing components orbiting the Earth. ISS thus accomplished “as
 sembly complete.” It had taken 27 years from President Reagan’s initiation
  decision to reach this point. The cost is usually put at $100 billion. IS
 S is now in the utilization stage\, at least until 2024. What is most sign
 ificant about ISS may be that five space agencies\, involving 16 nations\,
  made it happen. Holding a coalition together that long despite innumerabl
 e tensions within the group and pressures from outside was daunting. The m
 ost important and interesting relationship was that between the U.S. and R
 ussia. Cold War rivalry with the Soviet Union helped catalyze the project\
 , and post-Cold War symbolism and arms control induced President Clinton t
 o shift the relation to one of alliance with Russia. Conflict and cooperat
 ion were always present. The history of ISS’s construction holds many less
 ons for anyone interested in what it takes to accomplish bold and complex 
 goals\, especially those entailing technologies new to the planet—and spac
 e.&nbsp\; Conversations in Conflict Studies is a weekly educational speake
 r series for students\, faculty\, and the community. The series\, sponsore
 d by PARCC\, draws its speakers from Syracuse University faculty\, nationa
 l and international scholars and activists\, and PhD students. Pizza is se
 rved. Follow us on Twitter @PARCCatMaxwell\, tweet #ConvoInConflict.
