Modulbeschreibung:
Contens
Violent conflicts are getting more and more complex. We observe a rise of civil wars as well as a rise of activities of transnational violent actors. Technical advances in the weapons industry and digitalization pose new threats. We seem to be moving back to old-school block confrontations of great. Simultaneously, international institutions organize more complex multilateral peacekeeping and peacebuilding activities, and wars get more regulated, based, for example, on the introduction of a responsibility to protect (R2P) or the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
This module tries to make sense of these different observations. It will give an overview of central categories and controversies in the field of Peace and Conflict Studies. We will think about concepts like war, conflict, violence, and peace and analyze the theoretical assumptions linked to these terms. We will also discuss different forms of violent conflicts as well as major theoretical explanations for such conflicts. Last, but not least, we will deal with different international strategies of peacebuilding as well as the international regulation of violent conflicts.
