Options magazine presents IIASA and its research for a non-specialist audience. The current issue focuses on:

The quest for “clumsy solutions” in Nepal’s mountains
A simple cable system carrying milk across a valley in the Mahabharat Mountains provides insight into a complex theory of world views and conflict resolution.

Education spells hope for world wellbeing
Strong further investment in education in the developing world is needed if the potential benefits of education are to be realized.

Beating the poverty trap
IIASA research shows that microinsurance, when integrated with additional adaptive measures, is much more effective than microinsurance alone in preventing people from falling into a poverty trap.

The role of human behavioral games in international negotiations
Karl Sigmund, an IIASA mathematician, works in a world of games.

Poverty alleviation is about people
New research aims to discover more about the people on the receiving end of our current aspirations to expand energy access.
