Objectives

The course seeks to provide contemporary insights into the inter-linked economic, political and social dimensions of violent conflicts and peace-building. Its argument is that students should not only develop practical knowledge of the strategies for conflict management, resolution and transformation, but also the relevant analytical skills needed for critiquing these strategies. This suggests the ability to draw on relevant theories to examine efforts at building sustainable peace and human development in war torn societies. It thus draws upon many important case studies from diverse conflict settings to demonstrate where strategies have been pursued and the specific conditions that have influenced their outcomes.

I. Violent Conflict and Negotiation

This section focuses on the changing political role and practices for handling conflict at different levels and in different contexts. Much of the literature chronicles the different ways in which violence and/or oppression are institutionalised and, in so doing, draws attention to some key impediments to the institutionalisation of peace. It also points to concrete strategies of handling conflicts through communication and negotiation.



Just War Theory – Premises and Challenges



(01) The space for moral reasoning about war

- Hanstad

The first lecture focuses on the fundamental premise for just war theory, including the acceptance of the thesis of double effect, the premise of state sovereignty and the inescapable influence from both pacifism and political realism. The lecture will also address the question of how to understand war in relation to politics and power.

(02) War and justice: ‘Jus ad bellum’& ‘Jus in bello’

-Hanstad

The second lecture will focus on the traditional criteria for jus ad bellum and jus in bello. This will include discussions of what jus ad bellum and jus in bello in traditional state versus state wars, as well as reflections on whether the same criteria are adaptable to late-modern asymmetric conflicts (including ‘war’ on terrorists).

(03) Contemporary applications and challenges – responsibility to protect, cosmopolitan strategies and asymmetric war

-Hanstad

The lecture will present some important contemporary issues that can be seen as a challenge to traditional just war theory. These challenges include phenomena/concepts such as ‘humanitarian interventions,’ ‘Human Security’ and ‘asymmetric warfare.’ The basis for the presentation will be the report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty, Responsibility to Protect.

Warfare and Economic Activities: The Social Order of Insurgencies
- de Soysa
In these three lectures, the focus will be on diverse economic practices during war. Rather than solely examining the causes of conflict, the aim is to provide insights into the varying economic issues shaping conflicts in time and space; how wars are sustained, from the ways in which collective grievances are mobilised for individual economic gains, natural resource abuse, to livelihood adaptations in war afflicted communities. The main emphasis is on how non-state actors (such as rebel groups, militias, and warlords) finance their activities and establish specific forms of socio-economic systems in conflict situations, as well as how other social actors (e.g. children and women) affect and are affected by shadow war economies.
Besides the case studies in the reading list, which focus mostly on sub-Saharan Africa, students are encouraged to find supplementary materials on conflicts in other geographical areas.

(05) The resource curse: how can wealth make you poor and insecure?

- de Soysa

The next step is to look into the empirical facts of economic activities during conflict in more detail. As a preparation for the second lecture, students are encouraged to find information about economic activities under specific conflicts. They might, for example, think about how certain economic activities were organized during the conflicts in the Balkans or during other conflicts, which they are more familiar with.

(06) State capacity and rebel financing

- de Soysa
The concluding section entails a review of alternative theoretical perspectives on how to understand and analyse conflict dynamics. It concludes with a discussion of the potential implications of conflicts and policy approaches to address them.
II. The Pursuit of Peace: Strategies and Institutional Dynamics
Peace building: key concepts and perspectives
- Torjesen
These lecture series provide students with insights into international agencies and instruments deployed when outsiders attempt to build peace in war-torn countries. They also aim to provide an in-depth understanding of one of the key strategies within contemporary peace-building, namely, Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR).
Students are expected to grasp and critically assess key concepts associated with peace-building. They are also expected to gain an overview of the history and the current use of the DDR concept. Moreover, they are invited to critically reflect upon the aspirations to social engineering that underpin this concept and assess strengths and weaknesses of DDR in particular country cases.

Gender, Conflict and Peace-building

In this section, the field of gender studies will be introduced and then related to the subject matter of peace studies. Gender is presented as a dimension to highlight the differential impacts of conflicts on men and women, and how their respective gendered needs are addressed in subsequent periods of peace and post-war reconstruction. What do gender and the relationships between men and women in society bring to peace studies?

Peace Education

These lectures present contending epistemologies, discursive negotiations of violence and efforts at peace-building. They present knowledge as a terrain on which violence is both legitimised and challenged, and where peace is both conceived and instantiated. The character and challenges of such epistemic peace-work are further explored through the consideration of education and art as vehicles for the pursuit of peace.

Transitional justice after conflict and authoritarianism
Post-conflict societies face many challenges, not only concerning the present and the future, but also the past. The three lectures on transitional justice will discuss the different ways that countries coming out of armed conflict and authoritarian rule address their violent pasts. Does peace need justice and accountability to be sustainable? How to ensure accountability in post-conflict societies? What mechanisms can be applied and what do they imply? The lectures aim to provide students with a basic understanding of different transitional justice mechanisms, what considerations to take when opting for their implementation, and why they are important. The issue of land restitution as a form of victim reparations will also be addressed.
