| Contents
The peace studies programme is designed, first, to analyse the nature and origins of conflict, violence and peace in their various social and political contexts and, second, to explore ways to solve or transform conflicts and reduce violence. These objectives are articulated through the design of the individual courses.
SVF-3021 explores some important philosophical and theoretical debates regarding peace and peace-research. These provide the foundation for the analysis of peace, violence, and conflict management and resolution in historical and political perspective. The course is divided into two distinct but related components:
(i) Peace Studies: Philosophy, theory and epistemology
(ii) The Western global ''''order'''' in philosophical, historical and theoretical perspective.
