his seminar is intended to be a follow-up to the ‘Introduction to Conflict Resolution course’. The course will look in-depth into characteristics of deep-rooted conflict; examine the theories and frameworks that underlie different peace-building strategies and through a study of four cases (Tentatively Plan: South Africa, Cyprus, Sri Lanka, Guatemala) understand the complexity and challenges involved in implementing peace-building strategies. For the seminar paper, students will research and present an analysis of the opportunities and challenges to peace building in the context of one conflict torn society (a case selected by the student for study).
