Description
Master of Peace Studies
M.A. Peace Studies this interdisciplinary MA explores
the processes through which actors have attempted to define and build peace in
areas affected by war and violence, particularly since the end of the Cold War.
Drawing on expertise from the fields of politics, history, anthropology and the
arts, this newly revamped course will offer you the opportunity to engage with
conflict management, conflict resolution, conflict transformation,
peacebuilding and statebuilding theories and practices. Moreover, the programme
will critically address the conceptualization of peace and the implementation
of peacebuilding projects by global, regional, national and local actors,
including the UN, the International Financial Institutions, development
agencies and donors, INGOs, and local organisations in conflict-affected
environments. In particular, it will focus on social agency for peace, the
question of the nature of the `peaceful state', and the ever-fraught question
of the reform of the international system.
