POLS 5730 Ethics and Peacebuilding

4 semester hours

This course explores the ethical challenges that arise in peacebuilding in post-conflict societies. It examines major ethical theories in order to help inform our thinking about various peacebuilding dilemmas. These challenges permeate all aspects of peacebuilding, from decision making to implementing policies on the ground. For example, who should be primarily responsible for rebuilding the peace and how should we decide which policies are best?
