The MA in Peace and Reconciliation Studies attracts well qualified applicants from the UK, other European countries, and from around the world. Within the broad field of peace studies, our programme focuses on the area of conflict transformation and peace-building.
The aim of the MA in Peace and Reconciliation Studies is to enable students to develop the knowledge and skill base necessary to understand the linkages between the different levels of destructive conflict in the world, to understand the theory and practice of peace-making and peace-building at the various levels, and to evaluate alternative modes of action and intervention in the attempt to transform violent and destructive conflict along non-violent and constructive channels. In this regard it should be noted that the focus of the programme is far wider than `war´.
The core modules that constitute the programme provide a thorough understanding of core issues in peace and reconciliation studies including such contested concepts as forgiveness, justice, just war and the `responsibility to protect´. We are particularly concerned to explore the ways in which destructive and violent conflict at whatever level can be transformed along constructive channels by non-violent means, and we have a special interest in examining the relationship between religious faith, conflict and peace.
Contents
Students are required to take four double modules and two single modules before proceeding to the preparation of a dissertation.
Three of the double modules are mandatory. They deal with the central concerns of the course.
* Key Issues in Peace and Reconciliation Studies focuses on the central concepts and theoretical approaches that inform the study of peace and reconciliation.
* Theory and Practice of Conflict Transformation focuses on how violent or damaging conflicts at the inter-personal and inter-group levels can be transformed into constructive processes of personal and social change.
* Comparative Peace Processes focuses on protracted social and regional conflicts within a comparative framework, enabling the student to examine the relationship between types of conflict, forms of peace settlement, and the main dilemmas of promoting reconciliation during the ‘post-peace settlement’ phase in societies and regions emerging out of destructive conflict
We also offer an optional double module:
Religion, Peace and Conflict focuses on the relationship between change at the individual ‘micro’ level and the 'macro' level of structural transformation, aiming in particular to enable students to evaluate different ways of envisaging the creation of a world without war that emphasise the primacy of ‘inner’ change.
If they wish students may choose their optional module from a range offered on other MA courses within the School. The following modules have been approved for the Peace and Reconciliation Studies postgraduate programme:
* International Human Rights Law
* Human Rights in Europe
* Peace-Keeping in Africa
* Development Strategies and Experience
* Gender and Development
* The Politics of India and Pakistan
