IP 502 Research Methods in Conflict Analysis & Peace Science

This course provides an essential introduction to the systematic analysis of conflict and to the relationships that exist across the social sciences that inform our understanding of social conflict and the emerging field of conflict analysis and peace studies. As such, the seminar introduces the basic approaches of conflict analysis and peace studies research. It familiarizes students with the diverse tools that are used to understand and analyze the emergence and evolution of conflict in a variety of settings. Initial sessions provide the intellectual foundation and theoretical framework for conducting conflict analysis and its relationship to principles in mediation and conflict resolution. Subsequent sessions apply the framework to selected domestic and international disputes and explore appropriate strategies for their resolution.
