The aim of the course is twofold. First, we provide a conceptual map to better understand the transformation of contemporary conflicts. Second, weprovide conceptual tools and practical skills for students interested in career opportunities in global affairs.
The course aims at providing conceptual and practical tools to address "peace and war", from two different perspectives. The first one, more theoretical, concerns both regulatory and descriptive-explanatory strategic reflection about the factors through which we can better understand and prevent conflicts. The second, from a more practical point of view, is focused on peace management and conflict resolution.
A basic knowledge of International Relations and History of Political Thought can help students, but it is not necessary to properly attend the course.

Exam will be based on a written test (10 brief questions) plus an oral examination for both the modules.
The written exam will assess the acquired knowledge in the field of security studies, evaluating the students’ skills in addressing specific security issues. The oral exam allows assessing the student’s knowledge on the concepts of peace and war as well as the capabilities in interpreting different security scenarios and actors.
