The Commonwealth Institute

 and

the Project on Defense Alternatives



You have arrived at the comw.org domain, first used by The Commonwealth Institute of Cambridge, MA in 1996 for the Project on Defense Alternatives (PDA) website. Ever since, this domain has provided people across the world with access to the publications and other internet content of a half dozen of the Institute's programs and a similar number of special document collections or libraries.
