Peace and Conflict Studies Dept., UC Berkeley
The Peace and Conflict Studies major prepares students to understand the dynamics of peace and conflict and to contribute to the creation of more just and peaceable conditions in the world. Courses focus on the understanding of conflict, the history of peace efforts, conflict resolution, human rights, and world order. The founding premise of Peace and Conflict Studies is that war and other forms of violence are not inevitable or ineradicable, despite their omnipresence in human history. Through critical theory and interdisciplinary method much can be learned about the causes of conflict and conditions of peace at all levels upon which the discipline of peace studies has focussed-intra- and interpersonal, societal, international, and global-and this knowledge can assist future generations to put into practice just and sustainable principles locally and globally.
