Abstract
This course is intended to introduce students to the theoretical explanations of international
and regional conflicts and to the practicalities of conflict management and resolution
through negotiation, mediation, adjudication, and various forms of intervention. The course
focuses on different types of conflicts with emphasis on their historical origins and
evolution; their ethnic, religious, geographic, and political dimensions; as well as the
implications and consequences of these conflicts for both regional and international actors.
The course is divided into three sections. Part one focuses on theoretical approaches to
explaining conflict; part two on the techniques, tools, and approaches to conflict
management and resolution; and part three on selected case studies.
