International Peace

Description:

This course is the second of two core courses needed for the online International Peace and Conflict Resolution Certificate Program. It is designed to follow and compliment IP501 and prepare the students for their chosen specialization. The primary goal of this course is to assist the student in understanding the constructs of contemporary conflict and match them to conflict resolution practices today. It looks at the way that conflict has changed in the second half of the twentieth Century, away from interstate to more intrastate conflict, and examines how this has affected conflict resolution practices. First by examining the reason for this change and the change in response needed to prevent, manage and resolve these conflicts. The course will draw on current examples of conflict and identify topics often related to conflict. Topics included in this course are: Gender, identity, health, refugees and human rights. Each course will ask the student to apply what they learn through readings, online activities and discussion and to present a research paper on a conflict topic.
