Issues in the Theory and Practice of Conflict Analysis and Management

CAMN 600*: Provides a more detailed analysis of selected issues already encountered in CAMN 500 and CAMN 530. These are examined in the context of cases drawn from different fields and levels of conflict. For students in the Political, Ethnic and Security concentration particular attention is paid to understanding the origins of deep-rooted conflict, leading theories of social violence in terms of human needs, identity, and collective action, and how cultural differences affect perceptions of conflict and the likely success of various intervention strategies. For students in the Organizational, School and Community, and Environmental concentration this course has an emphasis on understanding intergroup conflict, especially conflict between identity groups in organizational and community settings.
