LDSH 818 - PEACE, CIVIL UNREST, AND SOCIAL CONFLICT

3 Credit Hour(s)
This course examines social aspects of peace and civil unrest on three levels. At the macro level, using sociological concepts and methods, the course considers social conflict in origins and causes, events and processes, effects and outcomes. At the meso-level of analysis, the course addresses the effects of social structure in the processes of unrest, civil dissonance, and peace. Third, non-Western analyses of conflict and peace are examined. Three graduate hours of lecture or equivalent.
