Students will learn to analyze conflict management strategies based on costs and benefits. Exploratory in nature, the course builds on previous scholarship, as well as students\u2019 initiatives. We will discuss violent actions and their costs: <strong>conventional wars,<\/strong> like the wars in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, <strong>terrorism<\/strong>, state-sponsored and non-state actor (including \u201clone wolf\u201d or \u201cstray wolf\u201d) attacks, which have become too frequent to list since the 9\/11 attacks in the United States, and <strong>the prospects for the use of nuclear weapons<\/strong>. The works of Sigmund Freud, Conrad Lorenz, Margaret Mead, Samuel Huntington, Michael Howard, and others will inform the discussion of violent conflict management strategies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">We will also explore pathways to peace through <strong>nonviolence, civil disobedience, ecological and economic well-being, social justice, and peaceful conflict management<\/strong> in the works of Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Gene Sharp, Johan Galtung, Henry David Thoreau, Roger Fisher, and others. Course material comes from an interdisciplinary perspective. Overall, the emphasis in this class will be placed on ACTION, in theory and practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This course will explore theories on war, positive and negative peace, violent and nonviolent action, strategic choices, conviction, and values in today\u2019s global community.
