About this subject
Across the world, conflict and violence disturb the peace of nations because politicians want power, arms traders want money and the masses allow themselves to be manipulated into ethnic and religious hatreds. Future proof your career in diplomacy, humanitarianism, or defence, or just satisfy your need to know, by equipping yourself with the ideas, understanding and skills to help people address difficult situations. In this subject you will examine the meanings and realities of conflict, violence and peace. We will explore positive peace, negative peace and nonviolent options. You will consider the various challenges of conflict transformation from cultures of violence to peace and peaceful futures, by focusing on peacebuilding and reconciliation even for youths born into war zones who have never known peace.
