The aim of the course is to introduce negotiations and conflict management theories with different cases each week.
Conflict is a part of our lives. The study of conflict and its resolution through negotiation is the goal of this course. This course will focus on the concepts and skills necessary to help you identify and resolve conflicts through negotiation. It is designed to help you understand the dynamics that affect conflict, negotiations, and subsequent resolution and to apply the concepts and skills acquired in a variety of decision-making and dispute contexts. In this course, we will examine different approaches to analyzing the causes, dynamics and consequences of conflict, and subsequently designing interventions with the aim of resolving such conflicts peacefully and justly. We will approach this topic through a careful balance of theory and practice.
| 1. | Understanding of central factors and conditions that influence how wars can be terminated through conflict resolution processes. |
| 2. | How different phases in conflict resolution processes interact with each other and between different levels of analysis (local, national, regional and global level). |
| 3. | How to structure and classify conditions and problems on different levels of analysis and in different stages of the conflict resolution process. |
| 4. | Compare conditions and problems in peace processes within and between countries in their regional and international context. |
| 5. | The role that third parties and civil society can play in conflict resolution processes (e.g. through negotiations, transparency, mediation, peacekeeping operations and development assistance). |
| 6. | Ability to independently analyse cases using central theories and concepts within the field of peace and conflict research. |
