POLITICS 770

Ethnic Conflict and Civil War

Please note: this is archived course information from 2020 for POLITICS 770.

Description

Students examine the comparative literature on civil war, mass killings and conflict prevention, and apply this scholarship to past and contemporary cases of violent conflict. In doing so, they learn to carry out two policy-relevant tasks: identify common causes of violence and assess which policies of prevention work best in different contexts.
