About the course

In the course Applied issues in Peace Studies, we will apply the theories and concepts taught in the previous course to real-life cases of peacebuilding and peacemaking through a combination of exercises and a wide range of debates. You will gain a better understanding of why promoting and sustaining peace can be so incredibly difficult, but also find out what we can learn from successful examples of peace promotion. This course is about the practice of promoting peace by a variety of actors, including the UN, regional organisations, national governments, and non-governmental actors. Through a set of case studies, we will put the spotlight on a set of challenges that these actors encounter, such as negotiating peace, building sustainable peace, protecting civilians, and preventing atrocities. This also relates to the obstacles that societies encounter when transitioning from a state of war to a state of peace. Finally, we will pay attention to the future of peace studies and how new developments may improve or dampen the prospects of peace promotion. More information
