Abstract: Abstract This paper describes the construction of an infrastructure for global education and peace gaming, in particular on the issue of environment and sustainable development in Third World countries. The games are intended to train would-be decision makers in crisis management, conflict resolution, and negotiation techniques. Experience shows that the expertise necessary to participate in peace games does not exist in many parts of the world. To help educate future participants and to promote the cause of peace by enhancing exchanges of education and joint research, the Multinational Project on Secondary and Higher Education (PROMESUP) of the Organization of American States (OAS) is joining efforts with the GLObal Systems Analysis and Simulation (GLOSAS) Project to create a Global/Latin American (electronic) University (GLAU) as an initial step in that region towards full implementation of a Global (electronic) University (GU) consortium. This paper provides a brief account of the steps taken over the past 12 years which have led to the development of the GU so that Latin American institutions can meet the challenge of global issues.
