Negotiating Peace
7.5 creditsThe course introduces students to peace processes, especially negotiations and the implementation of peace agreements. It focuses on a variety of conflict scenarios, from interpersonal and intergroup to (possibly internationalized) violent interstate conflicts. This provides a more in depth understanding of how actors in different conflict situations go about achieving their objectives through a negotiation process. Through active practical learning exercises and negotiation simulations students also learn basic negotiation skills as a valuable asset for the contemporary job market. Furthermore, the course discusses the problems around peace building, in both theoretical and pratical terms.
