Political Order and Conflict
This seminar builds on the MACIS seminar on “political violence” and covers the
literature on civil war and other types of conflict in the contemporary world. We will
cover topics such as ethnic violence, political economy perspectives on war, the role of
political institutions, and the international dimensions of civil conflict. The students will
develop an original research question to be dealt with in a research paper.
When? Spring Term 2020. Each Wednesday. 10:15–12:00 AM.
Where? Room IFW D44.
