Genocide, War, and Violent Conflict

3 credits · Undergraduate

(3 hrs Lecture) Genocide, war, and violent conflict are among the most pressing problems investigated by conflict analysts. This course helps students interpret and understand unfolding situations of large-scale violence in the world. To aid that process we examine a variety of theoretical approaches, case studies, and core debates in the area from an interdisciplinary perspective. Contemporary efforts to ameliorate selected cases of violent conflict, war, and genocide are also examined. Requisite Courses: CRS-1200 or permission of the instructor [prerequisite(s)].
