In the Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) undergraduate program you will explore why conflict and violence occur, and understand how conflict can be transformed by "collaborative decision-making" to accomplish constructive ends.
PACS 604 examines theoretical and practical frameworks for understanding conflict, with particular attention to structures and dynamics inhibiting peace. The course provides students with some of the analytical skills needed to understand how conflicts develop and escalate, to identify factors that can lead to or sustain violence, and to map root causes of conflict (e.g., human rights violations, needs deprivation, cultural and religious differences, inequality, resource misuse and environmental degradation) at interpersonal, intergroup, and international levels.
