The peace dividend promised by the end of the Cold War rapidly
disintegrated into the flames of war across the former
Yugoslavia, historically a pivotal point for tension and
conflict in Europe.
The Conflict Management
Program
in Slovenia offers a unique opportunity to examine past
conflicts in the Balkans and
their consequences firsthand. What lessons can be learned
for future conflict management? Within the program, special
emphasis is placed on the role of foreign intervention, the
contribution of political and economic transformation to both
conflict and peace, and the power of conflict prevention and
resolution.
Immediately following our Program you can also take advantage of
the
official United Nations short course on Peacekeeping in the
Former Yugoslavia. It is designed to present a UN
perspective regarding the military and political efforts to
bring peace to the Former Yugoslavia during 1995-1999.
Successful participants will be awarded UN certificates.
This program is ideal for students
of international relations, political science, Slavic studies,
or anyone interested in peace and justice. Those particularly
interested in eventually working for a governmental,
intergovernmental or non-governmental organisation with programs
in conflict prevention and resolution will find this an ideal
opportunity to study the sources and solutions of conflict
firsthand.
