Présentation
This course will provide students with the theory and practice to engage in international conflict management. It situates the discussion in the aftermath of violent warfare and therefore puts emphasis on the ending of hostilities and the consolidation of short-term peace and long-term nationbuilding. It will relate to the many levels and multi-dimensional scopes of international mediation, incl. tactics, actors, and dynamics at the negotiation table. Based on applied theory and real world scenarios provided by the course instructor, students will be immersed into the complexities of conflict resolution and peace building on an international scale. Whether Darfur, Syria, Myanmar or Colombia, students' awareness and understanding about interdependent issues at the international level will be raised.
