Dear all,
The Network University is glad to announce an upcoming online course on
"Post-Conflict Politics".
Post-Conflict Politics: 24 May – 18 June 2010
*Course*
The way States operate in the contexts of post-conflict transition
processes poses problems. The demands for State reform in different
cases of post-war reconstruction projects illustrate the obstacles
against which these reforms may come: inadequate democracy, absence of
the Rule of Law, ruling class' lack of legitimacy, corruption, economic
crisis and poverty, resurgence of conflict. The aim of the course is to
give the participants all the tools to analyse a post-conflict state,
and understand the elements that lead to stability, or a return to
conflict. What are the options to improve the relationship between state
and society in post-conflict contexts?
*Content*
This course looks at the whole life of the post-conflict state; going
from how to achieve the formal end to a conflict, the peace agreement,
through to the establishment or re-establishment of the state and its
institutions. Throughout the course the theoretical material is
illustrated with case studies to show how models affect different
contexts and highlight the importance of local knowledge in the
establishment of a durable peace. The subjects of the four-week course
are: Peace agreements and the durability of peace; Legitimate
government; and State consolidation. The fourth and last week is
intended for finalising all group work either individually or in groups.
The students are coached online, and they will interact through online
debates and assignments.
Information about the content, fees, planning and approach to the
conflicts can be found in the demos courses. If you are interested in
