IP 536 Conflict Analysis


This course will explore the theory, methods and ethical perspectives of conflict analysis. The focus will be on root causes of contemporary conflict as it is acted out in inter-communal society. The goal of this course will be to expose students to the various qualitative methodologies peace builders use in mapping both inter-communal and international conflicts in order to develop critical thinking regarding a particular method’s efficacy. Students will be assigned weekly readings by leaders in the field as well as case studies, and will be required to post responses. Depending upon enrollment size, students will be assigned work groups where they will be required to respond to cohorts’ postings.
