Mediating Violent Conflict

January 4, 2010 - January 8, 2010

Resolving or mitigating international and intrastate conflicts requires mastery of the dynamics of mediation. Participants in the course take on the roles of mediators and conflict parties in simulations, as they learn what it takes to structure a successful mediation effort. The course provides a strategic overview of what a third party needs to do when deciding to get involved in a peacebuilding effort.
