【授業の内容 / Course Contents】

The course provides students with some of the analytical skills to understand how conflicts develop, to identify root causes of conflict at interpersonal, intergroup, and international levels. In particular, the focus is given to (1) actors analysis of conflict (victims, perpetrators, and bystanders) to realize how “ordinary people” are engaged in conflict escalation, and to (2) post-conflict issues such as peacebuilding and reconciliation, and the roles of UN, regional organizations, States, and civil societies. In addition, several case studies of conflict and genocides in the past are discussed, and guest speakers who are active in peacebuilding-related fields are invited to provide the real sense of what has been happening on the ground. At the end of the course, the concept of human security as a tool to peacebuilding and sustainable security is introduced and students are required to engage in simulation exercises of implementing the concept in conflict-related fields.

This course picks up several on-going and past conflicts in Asian countries/areas to review their wide backgrounds, influences of external powers, direct & indirect causes, details of concerned parties and actual conflicts situations including victims, and to analyze actual or possible solutions of those conflicts, considering their sustainability. This post-conflict issues include peacebuilding and reconciliation, and the roles of UN, regional organizations, states, and civil societies. Toward the end of the course, each participant does a presentation on a selected conflict in Asian countries/areas based on what he/she learned in the course and from his/her own research.
