What is the cause of violent conflict?
o Under what conditions does violent conflict break out
o Why have the parties to a conflict resorted to violent means?
o What enable conflicting parties to resort to violent means?
How to explain what happens during violent conflict?
o Who are the parties involved in the conflict? What roles do they play? How
have they come to this?
o What are the effects of parties actions during the course of conflict?
How does violent conflict end?
o Under what conditions do nonviolent means become a viable alternative to
violence
o Does an end to violence also mean an end to conflict?
o Can interventions bring conflict to an end? if so what kind of interventions?
The course consists in two parts
1) Part 1: understanding causes of conflict
o Levels of analysis: realism
o Actor analysis
o Negative-positive peace
, o Protracted social conflict
2) Part 2 : understanding conflict intervention.
Contextualizing
Image 1:
Showing picture of a massacre in 1944. The Germans were already losing the war.
The commander was ordered to break through American lines and killed them on the
spot.
2 years later in 1946 an American war trial convicted 73 soldiers of this war crime.
3 weeks later the American forces captured ss soldiers and killed them on the spot.
What is the cause of these massacres? Did they follow orders? Why was one group
held accountable and another not? Is it the result of losing sight of human enemy?
Image 2:
The day that millions of soviets were expecting has come. But the afghani on the same
day claimed victory.
Why were the soviet troops in Afghanistan? Why did they left?
Another image of 9/11. Attack claimed by al Qaida led by Oussama ben laden.
They are all non-state actors but raised war between state actors America and iraq.
This week the last American soldier left afghani soil.
Biden in July said they did their job. Obama said they want to help afghani people
against Taliban’s.
Image 3:
Image of slaughtered men in Rwanda
General Romeo Delair he was commissioner UN to stop genocide in Rwanda. But he
didn’t have mandate to stop it. They had more power than the militia there. So why
800 thousand people were killed, and the UN did not do anything?
Image 4:
Belfast Irelands. Unionists fighting scared to not be part of Great Britain
Now after Brexit the sea border is framed as a potential threat to be part of Great
Britain.
The ulster defense association were fighting against republican Catholics. They
framed these riots as political, as the result of a threat to the unionist identity of
Northern Ireland.
violent conflict is ongoing
Aced claims almost 100.000 events of organized armed violence in one year (battles,
riots, protests, explosions...)
150.000 fatalities
