Focus in 2015: Afghanistan and Central Asia.

Lectures (8 h) introduce the student to different policy approaches as identified in research literature and discuss
them in the context of protracted international conflicts and their resolution processes. Workshop (12 h)

The course primarily targets degree students in the Master’s programme in Peace, Mediation and Conflict Research. If places are available, UTA Master's degree students from other programmes and exchange students can be selected to the course.
