INTR12-215: Peace and War

Description

This subject examines the causes, theories and conditions that give rise to peace and war. You will investigate the ‘grey zone’ in which there is neither peace nor war, exploring its characteristics and strategic profile. Various perspectives, from the legal and ethical to the cultural and faith-based, are brought to bear on this fundamental problem underlying world order. How to bring about a positive peace, manage or resolve conflicts and engage in peacebuilding – not just peacekeeping – are questions which drive this subject and motivate student learning. You will debate various perspectives on the subject of peace and war in class, and also engage in scenario construction in the service of peace and conflict resolution.
