This course is an introduction to the study of Peace and Conflict. It aims to provide students with an understanding of how conflict and conflict resolution can be analysed in today's global world. After an initial theoretical exploration of the discipline, the course investigates the implications and consequences of the three major types of contemporary international conflict - namely interstate, civil, and state-formation conflicts - for durable peace agreements. The course also discusses the role of international institutions and regional contexts in the peaceful resolution of disputes.
