Designing and Assessing Conflict Intervention Processes

Module code: PES7039-B

Module Aims

• To promote critical insight into common conflict intervention processes, and the questions and critiques surrounding them;
  To develop skills in conflict assessment and process design and planning, including analysis of ethical considerations in conflict intervention.

Outline Syllabus

The module will provide an introduction to core methods/processes for conflict intervention, and some of the key questions facing those contemplating or involved in interventions. Detailed case-studies and intervention scenarios will provide a focus for learning about the systematic design of interventions, employing key skills for conflict engagement: eliciting, organising and analysing information relating to cases; conducting assessment of intervention options, process planning, core facilitation skills, reflection and evaluation. Cases will allow exploration of interventions at different scales, and in situations of increasing complexity. They also enable exploration of a number of cross-cutting themes, for example, relating to recognising and managing emotions within different processes, dealing with power and difference, the influence of culture on communication and conflict dynamics; and the significance of gender, etc.
