SS476 covers the entire life-cycle of civil conflict from onset, to dynamics, to termination. Through the use of a rich theoretical and empirical literature on conflict and a range of political science methodologies, it examines questions such as: what causes civil wars? Why do certain patterns of violence occur in civil wars? What makes civil wars so hard to end? What is the impact of third parties on termination of civil wars? The course emphasizes the theory and practice of civil war settlement and termination with particular attention to the role of third parties.

This course provides a broad overview of the nature of global conflict in the 21st century and investigates conflict prevention, conflict intervention and management, and post-settlement operations. The course also provides students an introduction to the field of conflict resolution and inter-cultural communication, and is centered around hands-on skills-building with individual and team negotiation practical exercises which allow students to develop individual mediation and negotiation skills. In addition to graded role-play simulations, requirements include a WPR, and a final conflict analysis paper and presentation in which the students investigate an international conflict and critique and/or develop a strategy for managing the conflict utilizing the theory, methodology and tools discussed in class.
