Aims
This series of subjects will provide academic knowledge for the understanding of contemporary armed conflicts and ways and means of conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and conflict prevention by international actors through the study of international Relations (IR)/International Politics.

Structure
This series is divided into two parts (Peace and Conflict Research I and II) as following. The first part ("the I" in T3) is for understandings of historical and theoretical perspectives and case studies of contemporary armed conflicts from the viewpoint of IR/International Politics. Primarily, historical knowledge of the sovereign state system provides us with a compass to designate where we are chronologically and geographically in international and domestic arenas. The first part also focuses on contemporary armed conflicts caused by political, economic, and social elements. The second part (“the II” in T4) will provide more specific studies about how international society tries to tackle those conflicts. In the class in T4, the lecturer will pay attention to the three perspectives: the United Nations (UN) security governance, European Union (EU) security governance, and African Union (AU) security governance. Those issues in world politics have been argued in debates on how those institutionalizations on conflict resolution and peacekeeping effectively and adequately respond to terminate armed conflicts and come about sustainable peacebuilding in relevance with state-building.

A Series of Peace and Conflict Research
This subject (Peace and Conflict Research I) is the first part of Peace and Conflict Research subjects at Hiroshima University (HU).
“Peace and Conflict Research I” is one of the specialized subjects in the Department of Integrated Global Studies (IGS). Participant to the subject entitled “Peace and Conflict Research II” is required to attend this subject (Peace and Conflict Research I) in T3.

Area of Study
International Relations (IR), International Politics (in Political Science)

The main purpose of IR/International Politics is to seek a quality of politics at the international level. It attributes to how international relations among state actors have emerged, maintained, and transformed in politics. Besides taking up the state’s form as the primal actor in international affairs, other actors, such as international organizations and non-governmental organizations whose activities link to global politics, become the objects for the analysis. This study area will concentrate on responding to how and why a particular decision has been made in politics. Study on IR/International Politics pursues this nature of concerns at global, regional, and local levels in world politics.

lesson4
IR's Major Theoretical Perspectives: (1) Liberal Internationalism

Liberalism stresses need of the international cooperation among states based on “liberal institutionalism. On the other hand, “Survival” is the most critical value for realists in International Relations. In that sense, it is supposed that states pursue the “balance of power” in the “anarchical system” in the world to keep peace in mind. In the wide range of debates in both realism and liberalism, Lesson 4 and 5 introduce the essence of those “main approaches” in the study.

Lesson6
Humanitarian Intervention and Regime Change

Non-interference is the central idea to keep the sovereign state system. That means that external intervention to any sovereign states is placed in a contradictory notion. Yet, two ways of “use of force” at the international level, are authorized by the UN Charter. This class examines contemporary practices of authorized external interventions concerning the state-building of authoritarian regimes by external regime change power.

lesson7
Refugees, hunger, development, and peacebuilding
Since the 1990s, peacebuilding activities in post-conflict areas have been counted as indispensable components to lead sustainable peace in societies. The embedded idea of peacebuilding implicitly and explicitly has shown “universal” ways based on liberal ideas. However, its peacebuilding sometime gives conflicted adjustment with local practices to be reconstructed. At the same time, the concept of human security also invented in the 1990s. How can world politics respond to human security itself? Class 6 shows a wide range of peacebuilding activities and their challenges, sharing the same line of human security issues.
