Program details

Overview

This specialisation investigates the reasons and mechanisms behind people's mobilisation around group identities, and it examines the institutional arrangements used to resolve or reduce ethnic conflict, addressing why such conflicts arise, how they can turn violent, and what mechanisms foster stability and peace within and between states. Coursework builds understanding of phenomena such as separatism, multiculturalism, federalism and nationalism, taught by a multidisciplinary, international team of social scientists each contributing their own area of expertise.
