Peace and Conflict Studies

Peace and Conflict Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the causes of conflict and the processes of peacebuilding. It explores the dynamics of interpersonal, social, and international conflicts, analyzing factors such as cultural, political, economic, and psychological influences. This field seeks to understand how conflicts arise, escalate, and can be resolved or transformed through negotiation, mediation, and other conflict resolution strategies. It also studies peace initiatives, social justice, and human rights, emphasizing the importance of sustainable peace and the prevention of violence. Peace and Conflict Studies draws on insights from various disciplines, including sociology, political science, psychology, and history, to address both theoretical and practical dimensions of maintaining peace and resolving conflicts.
