At the end of the Cold War, there were great hopes for world peace. The long-standing and dangerous conflict between the US and the USSR ended, the Soviet Union collapsed with relatively little bloodshed, and communism as a viable alternative to liberal democracy appeared dead. In fact, authoritarianism seemed vanquished in the early 1990s, as a wave of democratization seems to have swept the world. Many believed that a "New World Order" of peace and prosperity would reign. Initially, these hopeswere realized in some places, as long-simmering civil strife and inter-state confrontations abated in Latin America, the Korean peninsula, Southern Africa and the Middle East. War and destruction, however, were far from over as Southeastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Africa, and South Asia erupted or continued to burn. And places where conflict appeared most resolved in the 1990s-the Middle East and Chechnya-reignited at the turn of the decade. How can we account for the ebb and flow intensity of these conflicts? Under what conditions are conflicts settled? How can they be resolved or transformed? This course investigates these questions wirh special attention to three important post- Cold War conflicts, Bosnia, Northern Ireland, and Israel/Palestine and brief case studies of Chechnya, Rwanda, and Iraq.
