MIR 503 International Conflict Analysis and Resolution examines international conflict
resolution methods and theories emphasizing peaceful societies. Students learn how these
societies resolve the same kinds of problems that confront people everywhere yet manage their
conflicts without resorting to violent behavior. This course explores the forms of conflict
resolution and socialization that promote peaceful interaction, beliefs that favor nonviolence over
aggression, and attitudes and perceptions about violence that prevent its establishment as a social
norm. (Formerly MIR 503 International Conflicts Management)
