Target group
The Engaging Conflict Summer School is designed to equip committed students, early-career researchers and professionals with advanced tools to critically understand conflict and tackle it as a dynamic reality.

Course aim
Engaging Conflict's faculty draws from a unique spectrum of expertise to train a select group of participants in assessing the complexity of conflict and post-conflict scenarios, and evaluating the relevance and impact of different policy choices or normative standings, from non-intervention to conflict prevention.The Engaging Conflict Summer School addresses three core questions:1 What is conflict? Conceptualizing and understanding conflict Conflict as a concept; conflict as discourse; What differentiates conflicts of different kinds, what are their constitutive components? When, where and why do such different kinds of conflict occur? What implications are attached to different kinds of conflict?2 How does conflict work? Causes and dynamics of conflict Causes: the politics of identity, the role of religion, territory, mobilization mechanisms; Sustainability: the economy of conflict; Broader issues: ethnicity; gender and conflict; regional aspects and peculiarities.3 How can we influence conflict? Intervening on conflict, and possible outcomes Conflict prevention (vs. the implications of "give war a chance"), early warning and monitoring; Mediation, negotiation and third-party involvement; Peacebuilding and its implications; conflict and development nexus.
