Course Title:
An Introduction to War & Peace
Course Number:
POL00014I
Course Description:
This module will focus on some of the main debates and controversies surrounding contemporary war and peacemaking in order to explain the patterns, dynamics and causes of societal conflict and international change. Rather than viewing conflict and peace through the commonly deployed statist, strategic or doctrinal realist perspectives, this module will emphasise human security perspectives and thus recognise the complexities brought about by gender, identity and uneven development. Issues to be covered include terrorism, just war theory, community peacebuilding and peace dividends. The module will be consciously multidisciplinary (drawing on insights from social psychology, anthropology, development and gender studies) and will place a heavy emphasis on comparative and critical perspectives.
