Conflict analysis is the first step towards the effective management and resolution of conflicts. This subject equips students with theoretical knowledge and analytical skills to unpack complex conflicts. Students learn to identify and explain various elements of a conflict situation and are introduced to a range of theories, frameworks and models that assist with the critical analysis of complex conflicts. Students will practice conducting conflict analysis on a range of real life conflict scenarios to develop a deeper understanding of the elements of conflict and the conflict analysis process. The subject also provides a brief introduction to a range of strategies that can be used to intervene in and manage conflict.
