Revision with unchanged content. Using the Canada International Scientific Exchange Program (CISEPO) this book examines whether narrow or broad health-for-peace interventions are more successful. CISEPO builds bridges to peace between Israelis, Jordanians and Palestinians through medical and scientific co-operation. Drawing on medical, philosophical and international relations sources and in terviews with key workers this book explores these concepts. Participants de fined project level (narrow) endeavours, and broader, program level underta kings such as the establishment of knowledge networks. While frontline wor kers favoured narrow, time-limited, projects seeing broad, long-term projects as unrealistic, planners espoused the long view , accepting that programma tic goals take years to attain. The study suggests that the relationship between narrow and broad concepts is not either/or-both are needed simultaneously in differing measure depen ding on the undertaking. Short-term successes are necessary to sustain long-term goals and to measure and conceptualize success, but long-term goals are essential for ensuring overall direction and philosophy of the NGO.
