Message from the course coordinator:

Dear All,

Please note that while there are two main books on the reading list...

Ramsbotham, Oliver, Tom Woodhouse, & Hugh Miall (2016). Contemporary Conflict Resolution.
Cambridge: Polity Press.
Höglund, Kristine & Magnus Öberg (eds.) (2011), Understanding Peace Research: Methods and
Challenges. London: Routledge.

...the first one is more important for the purpose of this course, in addition to the journal articles and book chapters listed as course literature.

Please also bring your laptops to the lectures as there will be an in-class activity where you will be working on your student paper.

See you soon!
