授業の目標・概要等 Aims:
This class will provide academic knowledge for the understanding of contemporary armed conflicts and ways and means of conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and conflict prevention in International Relations (IR).  
For your deep understandings of this subject, participants are recommended to learn basic knowledge of IR and International Law at the undergraduate level by studying the further point of views from the relevant books in the second and third year in undergraduate before joining this class (in MA course).

Structure:
This course is divided into two parts (peace and Conflict Research I and II) as follows. The first part ("Peace and Conflict Research I") is for understandings of historical and theoretical perspectives and case studies of contemporary armed conflicts. Significantly, 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 conflict setting caused by political, economic, and social elements. The second part ("Peace and Conflict Research II") will provide more specific studies about how international society tries to tackle those conflicts. Among the various peace operations to solve them, the lecturer will pay attention to the three perspectives: the UN security governance, the EU security governance, and the AU security governance.

Style:
Each day of class will be divided into two parts; lecture part (90 minutes), and students' presentation and discussion (90 minutes) (Active participation is required.)
Students are required to read reading assignments and have their presentations during the class to promote a proactive discussion among the participants.

Study Goal of the Subject:
Students with the completion can
-get a basic understanding of the sovereign state system and history of peace and war, especially after the 1990s featuring contemporary armed conflicts and authorized intervention over the territorial borders and its challenges.
-cultivate an awareness of global issues, especially on peace and conflict and rethink the importance of a wide variety of international thoughts and concepts through international dialogue for peace.
-get a part in academic discussions on international peace and conflict, which constitutes a gateway for further arguments in the area.
