The aim of this one semester course is to familiarize students with core
topics and debates in the Conflict Resolution field. We will begin by exploring
the literature addressing the complex issue of causes of contemporary armed
conflicts at the systemic and state levels. We will then move on to analyze the
evolution of the conflict resolution field and practice. In the second half of
the course, we will cover both theory and practice of mediation, peacekeeping
and peacebuilding, primarily focusing on United Nations.
