COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will critically examine the academic and practical issues surrounding battle resolution and peace studies. The course will start by discovering the variety of diverse understandings of the origins of violence, the contemporary manifestations of conflict, and the key factors in conflicts such as elites, constituencies, civil society, soldiers, mercenaries, spoilers and outside actors. We will then investigate key approaches in the conflict resolution and peace studies field – such as conflict prevention, conflict management, conflict resolution and conflict transformation (and the relationship between these approaches). The course will also examine the relationship conflict resolution has to peacekeeping, peace-enforcing and post-conflict situations.
