Peace & Conflict Studies

Peace and Conflict Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the causes of conflict and the conditions necessary for peace. It explores the dynamics of violence, war, and social conflict, as well as strategies for conflict resolution and peacebuilding. The discipline draws on insights from various areas, including sociology, political science, psychology, and international relations, to understand the complex nature of conflicts at local, national, and global levels. Peace and Conflict Studies investigates both the theoretical and practical aspects of peace initiatives, nonviolent resistance, reconciliation processes, and the role of institutions in fostering peace. This field aims to develop frameworks for analyzing conflict situations, enhancing conflict transformation, and promoting sustainable peace through research, advocacy, and education.
