Peace, Strategy and Conflict Resolution

The purpose of this course is to help students develop a deeper appreciation of the underlying conditions that provoke conflict and, conversely, that may produce lasting peace, justice, and political order. This course introduces the larger dimensions surrounding the issues of peace, war, and conflict resolution such as the transcendent nature of lasting peace, the relationship between peace and a just moral order, and the diverse approaches to conflict resolution undertaken throughout history.
