Conflicts, Violence and Socioeconomic Development

0.5 credits · Undergraduate

This course examines the relationship between violent conflict and socio-economic development. Students will investigate how political violence shapes education, health, labor markets, and migration, and how these micro-level impacts connect to broader challenges of governance, institutions, and long-term growth. The course combines theoretical frameworks with empirical evidence, drawing on both country case studies and cross-country analyses, to help students critically assess how conflict and development interact and reinforce one another .
