It is a 3- credit units’ course and is the second part of PCR 605: Introduction to Conflict Resolution Processes I.

Against this background, you will be equipped with the tools to face everyday practical challenges.
What Will You Learn?
It is important to note that the study of this course is theoretical as well as practical. The theoretical consists of the body of insights, observations, research findings and formal propositions produced by the modern social sciences, especially those that deal with the nature and sources of human conflict and cooperation. It is ironical that most often this body of knowledge is only useful to the academics working on it. Their time is spent working on it, refining the details and trying to spell out the implications for public policy.
