A 'hands on' course that provides students with a framework for organizing and implementing post-conflict peace and stability operations based upon the end-states that should be achieved. Will focus on the critical issues that confront post-conflict interventions in achieving each end state and the overarching leadership responsibilities involved in these objectives.
A country that is at risk for, in the midst of or recovering from conflict has needs that no one expert or organization can provide. Often, humanitarian organizations work to address basic human needs for food, shelter and medicine; military or international organizations may have armed forces providing security; and governance experts may be helping local officials establish or improve legal frameworks and government agencies.
No two countries or situations are the same, but experts have identified many issues that emerge in nearly every conflict or post-conflict setting. The list of issue areas aims to aid researchers and practitioners by grouping USIP events, publications and resources by topic.
