Conflict and Conflict Resolution in the Caucasus, 15 higher education credits
Conflict and Conflict Resolution in the Caucasus
Caucasus is characterized by territorial complexity and high ethnic diversity. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the region has witnessed a number of violent ethnopolitic conflicts with large refugee flows, increasing Islamic fundamentalism, escalating terrorism and other destabilizing effects. In the course a selection of conflict cases in the region are analysed on the basis of existing conflict theories and models for conflict resolution.
The course is offered as an IT-based course with instruction in English. A variety of resources are available online, including lectures, exercises, databases, fascilities for group discussions and work on group assignments and online seminars.
A large part of the tuition requires student activity and therefore the students are themselves highly responsible for their own learning, together with teachers and supervisors.
As the course is offered exclusively online, the students following the course are expected to come both from nearby in the Öresund region, but also from other countries worldwide. This creates an international group of students that will be engaged in different joint activities during the course, and thereby promoting international contacts and strengthening the international perspective.
