Peace Studies

Overview

"Peace Studies is a field of social science focused on the multi-level study of violence and conflict in a complex and increasingly inter-dependent world. Our focus leads us to a wide-ranging exploration and analysis of the converging crises of our times, from inter-state and civil wars; to state and non state violence; to terrorism; to poverty, inequality and marginalization; to the ethical implications of scientific and technological progress; to new forms of governance and international regimes for addressing arms proliferation, climate change and world poverty; to civic participation and democratic innovation; to social movements and global activism; and to exploring social differences around gender, class, race, ethnicity and their implications for building equitable human interactions.

Peace Studies is truly a multidisciplinary undertaking. Our Department is founded on an understanding that no single discipline on its own is sufficient to comprehend the dynamics of issues as complex as war, world hunger, sustainable development and social justice, or problems as challenging as negotiating our differences in culture and belief.

The BA (Hons) in Peace Studies enables students to develop:

• an understanding of the theories and concepts of peace and conflict and their application to global, regional and local contexts;
• an understanding of the emergence, nature and significance of Peace Studies as a distinct field of academic enquiry;
• an understanding of the main concepts in the field and their application to contemporary issues;
• an ability to evaluate and engage effectively in key debates in the field."
