PS 1537 - PEACEMAKING & PEACEKEEPING

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course explores the conditions that lead to initiation, escalation, and termination of Civil Wars as well as the circumstances that promote or restore peace within states. Why do Civil Wars break out in some countries but not others? Why do Civil Wars last as long as they do? How does the international community help resolve Civil Wars? The ultimate goal of this course is not to examine a particular Civil War in detail but rather to provide a broad theoretical treatment of Civil Wars, and a better understanding of international relations. Upon completion of this course, you should be familiar with the factors that mitigate or exacerbate conflict within states and develop informed insights about the mechanisms of conflict management and resolution.
