MA in Conflict Studies and Human Rights

Why has nationalist violence erupted in Ukraine Will cities become the war zones of the future How is the term human rights used and abused in times of violent conflict What role did social media play in the rise and subsequent collapse of the Arab Spring What are the ethical and political issues associated with the use of drones in zones of conflict - and what impact does this have on the subjects of surveillance Who defines evil and what does doing good mean How do humanitarian wars affect the everyday lives of the victims they protect A solution to these questions can only be found through systematic analysis of processes of inclusion and exclusion, mobilisation, and collective violence. Addressing these topics properly demands critical reflection on the national and international policies developed to contain, manage, resolve, or transform violent conflict.
