What distinguishes this field from others; however, is a concern with the modalities of peace and the methods of peacemaking. This course is expected to focus towards interdisciplinary explorations on conflict resolution, peace building, humanitarian assistance, and other alternative mechanisms that seek to prevent and control violence, analyze the causes of war and systemic oppression, and explores processes by which conflict and change can be managed so as to maximize justice while minimizing violence. It is a multidisciplinary study, encompassing elements of political science, geography, economics, philosophy, psychology, sociology, international relations, history, anthropology, war studies, journalism, nuclear disarmament, diplomacy, religious studies, defense studies and gender studies, as well as a variety of others.
