PCE 110 - International Conflict Analysis (4 Cr.)

(GCR Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies area)

The first course in Peace Studies introduces students to foundational concepts in the interdisciplinary field. These include systems, power, progress, justice, conflict, violence, social evolution, capitalism, social movements, and positive and negative peace. We will use theory, data, and conceptual and geographical maps, to understand the causes of, the parties to and the potential solutions to conflicts in the Balkans, Colombia, Ireland, Somalia, Kashmir, Congo, Mexico, and Venezuela, to name a few. Fall and spring. Bess, Dawit.
