| Course Description | Today, 2 billion people—a quarter of the world’s population—live under the threat of violence in one of the 56 active conflict zones around the globe. How can we understand violence in wars? Why do wars and other violent conflicts start, grow, and persist? Why do so many countries that officially emerge from war lapse back into violence after a few years? Why do most international interventions fail to bring peace to affected populations? Can we end—or decrease, contain, or even perhaps prevent—mass violence? What role do outsiders play—both in war and in peace… and what about ordinary people? |
