Conflict is an important part of our daily lives. Conflict is omnipresent in interpersonal relationships, workplace, national and international affairs, etc. In this class we will examine theories and research that help us understand the nature and roots of conflict, its evolution, and strategies that lead to its resolution. The first part of the course will focus on roots and dynamics of conflict, whereas the second part will focus on strategies to resolve conflict. Students will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in this class to conflicts at different levels: Interpersonal, organization, community, and international.
