| Department of Peace Studies, Chapman University | Report Error | | Geographical Location: Orange, California | | Degrees Offered: Major | | Description: 'Despite great strides in science and technology, the modern world continues to be plagued by war and social conflicts. A growing number of institutions of higher education have come to the conclusion that just as we have service academies to educate young people in the ways of war, we need Peace Studies programs to train students how to work toward the peaceful solution of world problems. More than 200 university level Peace Studies programs have emerged across the United States. Chapman, at the forefront of this movement is among the relatively few programs to offer a full scale academic major in this new field. The Chapman Peace Studies Program is premised on the belief that peace implies more than just the absence of war. Positive peace involves social justice as well as non-violent conflict resolution. Peace is something which must be built, using methods which themselves are non-violent.' | | http://www1.chapman.edu/wilkins | Date Added: 11/30/2003 |

The course provides an ideal springboard both for those who wish to go into the policy area, and those who want to continue research. In recent years York has continued to expand in its expertise in the areas of Conflict and Governance through its Post-war Reconstruction and Development Unit (PRDU), with the acquisition of new experts in the field of the international governance of conflict, conflict resolution and the dynamics of post-war recovery. York also has a long tradition in Governance, covering the theoretical study of the Politics of Development, Public Policy, Poverty Alleviation, Labour Studies and Womens' Studies. The Department has won major research contracts and fellowships in the field of Post-war Reconstruction in recent years (Kosovo, Afghanistan, Thailand and Vietnam), as well as funding for academic research on Governance, covering the theory of Development Governance as well as social policy, Womens' Rights, Ethnicity, Poverty Alleviation and Labour Rights in Latin America, East Asia, the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa.' | | http://www.york.ac.uk/depts/pol | Date Added: 10/12/2003 |
