Contemporary Conflict Resolution

Since the end of the Cold War, conflict prevention and resolution have risen to the top of the international agenda. This workshop covers the theory and practice of conflict resolution. It charts the development of the field from its pioneers to its contemporary exponents, offers an assessment of its achievements and looks at the challenges it faces in today's changed security environment. Topics include reconciliation, responses to terror, gender issues, the ethics of intervention, dialogue, culture and future directions for the field. Conflict remediation at the personal, community and international levels will be explored.
