Vakinhoudelijk
Conflict is in itself neither bad nor good, but a sign that change is needed. The question is: does the way it is dealt with allow for growth, development, and understanding, or rather destruction, confusion, and polarization? Considering that violent conflict is a social event; any attempt at its resolution or transformation does not just require a solid theoretical foundation – it also necessitates a practical skill set. By working through theories and case studies of violent conflict, this course approaches violent conflict in three ways:
First is through the use of simulations. Conflict simulations are recognized methods for analysis, as well as tools for training diplomats, managers, businesses, negotiators, commanders and peace builders around the world. In class, we will bring past and future conflicts to life.
Second, any attempt at resolving a conflict requires skillful negotiation and mediation. With stakes running high and lives on the line, students will learn about the most important negotiator and mediator roles, tactics, habits, mistakes – and how to avoid them.
Third and finally, peace-building can transform conditions that generate destructive conflict. Students will learn how the increasing use and importance of peace-building activities can address causes of violence to create a societal expectation for peaceful conflict resolution.
Format
Through interactive and simulated learning, students will develop an understanding of decision-making on different levels in complex contexts. They will practically learn:
- How to handle complexity without being overwhelmed, and communicate effectively and professionally;
- Strategic planning, prioritization, and program design in conflict-affected states;
- Conflict resolution through negotiation, and mediation;
- Peace-building through interpersonal and community engagement;
- Active listening, public speaking, negotiation, diplomacy, team and information management, coalition building, and professional written communications.
