PS 1534 - CIVIL WARS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course explores why peace sometimes lasts a long time and sometimes falls apart quickly after Civil Wars. We will examine how the international community deals with civil conflicts and what can be done to ensure a long-lasting peace in war-torn countries. Emphasis will be placed on the factors that increase the durability of peace and aid the establishment of long-term prospects for reconciliation to rebuild societies after wars. Students will gain knowledge of theories that explain whether and how peacekeeping forces, agreement design, power-sharing institutions, mediation, foreign aid, and post-war elections help domestic belligerents reach and keep peace.
