Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The primary objective of this course is to examine the main approaches of justice and equality with regard to their applicability and contribution to the explanation and resolution of conflicts in divided societies. Students will be introduced to various theoretical perspectives which will then be examined through a number of case studies. The focus of the analyses will be on the development and dynamics of conflict, including the significance of specific events and the role of the internal and external key players, and on the comparison and evaluation of the perspectives for a just and stable conflict settlement. Through informed engagement with various conceptions of justice and equality and with selected conflict case studies, the students will be encouraged to develop their own critical perspective on the study of the perspectives of justice, equality and political transformation in conflict societies.
The course requirements include regular attendance, presentations, participation in discussions and workgroups, and essay submission.
