Location of Lancaster University
Taught in the Richardson Institute, this programme explores in depth how protracted conflicts can be, and are, resolved. It draws together a theoretical understanding of conflict and conflict resolution, comparative analysis of a number of contemporary conflicts, and a detailed analysis of one in particular.
The course aims to develop practical skills in conflict analysis and conflict resolution as well as exploring the difficulties of this approach, and draws on a special collection of material about peacemaking and conflict. Field trips to learn about areas of conflict or to visit NGOs involved in conflict resolution are encouraged.
