Description

This course focuses on why and how conflicts end, and the political, economic, and social challenges facing post-war societies. The course begins by discussing the obstacles inherent in the war-to-peace transition and the determinants of conflict recurrence. The course addresses questions such as: Why do some peace settlements last, while others do not? How can outside actors help bring conflicts to an end? How can peacekeepers help keep peace? What is the role of humanitarian aid? What explains variation in the success of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration programmes? How does post-conflict reconstruction work, and what is the role of transitional justice? The module aims to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of conflict management and the transition to peace, drawing on theoretical literatures, policy debates, and empirical case studies of conflict settings in different parts of the world.
