Programme

11:30 hrs. |
Start your Student for a Day with a tour through the Wijnhaven building |
| 12:15 - 15:00 hrs. | Lecture 'Proxy warfare (Case Study: Syria)' Conflicts are increasingly internationalized. Almost every conflict features some kind of international involvement, from diplomatic support, to arms supplies, to direct military interventions. The increasing number of players involved, leads to an increase in interests that peacemakers need to deal with. While external supporters may sometimes leverage their influence to help bring about peace, their backing may also enable the continuation of conflict and complicate peace-making efforts. In this class, we will discuss the dynamics of peace-making in proxy warfare, focusing on the UN's mediation efforts in the Syrian conflict between 2011 and 2024. |
| 15:00 - 15:15 hrs. | Q&A |

About the course 'Applied Issues in Peace Studies'
In the course Applied issues in Peace Studies, we will apply the theories and concepts taught in the previous course to real-life cases of peacebuilding and peacemaking through a combination of exercises and a wide range of debates. You will gain a better understanding of why promoting and sustaining peace can be so incredibly difficult, but also find out what we can learn from successful examples of peace promotion. This course is about the practice of promoting peace by a variety of actors, including the UN, regional organisations, national governments, and non-governmental actors. Through several case studies, we will put the spotlight on a set of challenges that these actors encounter, such as negotiating peace, building sustainable peace, protecting civilians, and preventing atrocities. This also relates to the obstacles that societies encounter when transitioning from a state of war to a state of peace. Finally, we will pay attention to the future of peace studies and how new developments may improve or dampen the prospects of peace promotion. Read more
