This course examines the nature of cotemporary civil wars and the challenges of stabilization, reconstruction and recovery encountered by modern international peace operations/peacebuilding missions. It will trace the origins and evolution of today’s expansive international interventions to support war to peace transitions in places such as Afghanistan, Liberia, Kosovo and elsewhere. It will feature examination of the diverse and interconnected roles of international civilian and military agencies (the UN and other international organizations, donor states, foreign military forces and coalitions, NGOs, and commercial entities) in promoting humanitarian relief, physical security, development, human rights and, ultimately, sustainable peace. It will present influential social science research; as well, review the evolving “state of the art” amongst practitioners and policy makers.
The Centre for Military and Strategic Studies is offering this Blockweek Course in January 2010 (4-8, 2010).
