Description:

This course examines approaches to maintaining international peace and security and how they may have changed in the twenty-first century. It addresses peacemaking in the context of both intra and interstate war, although it focuses particularly on the challenge of resolving civil conflict. Various approaches to mediation and their effectiveness will be addressed, as will the sustainability of negotiated versus military settlements and the effectiveness of peacekeeping and peace building. The course will also consider philosophical debates on the propriety of intervention in light of traditional norms of international relations, particularly sovereignty and noninterference, and the difficulty of reconciling humanitarian interests with the rules governing state behaviors. Offered in alternate years.
