Conflict Studies

Conflict Studies is an academic discipline that examines the causes, dynamics, effects, and resolutions of conflict across various contexts, including interpersonal, societal, political, and international arenas. This field of study seeks to understand the nature of conflict, the processes that lead to escalation or de-escalation, and the strategies for conflict resolution and peacebuilding. It encompasses a wide range of topics such as war, violence, negotiation, mediation, and the interplay of cultural, economic, and psychological factors in conflict situations. Researchers and practitioners in Conflict Studies analyze case studies, develop theories, and apply practical approaches to prevent and manage conflicts, ultimately aiming to foster understanding and promote peaceful coexistence.
