This course aims to present some of the major theoretical approaches to conflict. It examines theories that attempt to explain the causes, dynamics and conditions of conflicts, be they international or domestic. We will focus on organized violence at four levels: the global system; the state or regime; social/ethnic groups; and the individual. By the end of the course students should know the main approaches to understanding what violence is, why warfare and violence occur, and how to apply those approaches to concrete cases.
