It offers both a theoretical framework and a practical approach, with attention paid to historical determinants and recent developments in the field.<br><br>Crises and Conflicts consists of four parts that survey various aspects of the topic \u2013 from definition and typologies of international conflicts and crises to sources and causes of crisis and conflict, as well as the dynamics and management of these. In the first part, we will survey the evolution of the meaning of crisis and conflict with an exclusive focus on the intra-state, and societal character of this problem as well as social, political, economic, identity and other dimensions. The second part looks into three major categories of explanations about the causes and sources of conflicts: (1) Macro-level (e.g., systemic, economic, and normative variables); (2) Meso-level (identity-related variables) and; (3) Micro level (individual and psychological explanations). Furthermore, we will survey the dynamic of these conflicts as driven by crises in various areas such as food, scarcity, climate or migration. Finally, the course will focus on various techniques to managing (and possibly ending) conflicts that include intervention, mediation, early warning, preventive diplomacy, and crisis management.<br><br>The students are expected to apply this theoretical knowledge by participating in a group research project and by presenting contemporary cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new course has been developed at UiT to enrich our educational offer under GLOBSEC.
