These linked courses will deepen understanding of the problems of conflict resolution, international relations and peace building, with particular reference to divided societies. By combining the study of theory and techniques with the analysis of particular problems in ethnic relations, including those of Northern Ireland, the course offers a programme of study relevant to the needs of those employed, or seeking employment, in areas where ethnic conflict arises.
