Outline of the Course

Brief Description of the Paper

This paper explores issues of conflict and peacebuilding in contemporary international

politics. It considers competing theories and claims about the causes of conflict and

the relationship between conflict, economy and development. It analyses the range ofresponses to conflict and how they are justified, and also focuses on contests over the

meaning and practice of peacebuilding. The possibilities and limitations of

international institutions, including the United Nations, in ending conflict and

maintaining peace are highlighted throughout the paper. The paper also includes three

case studies: North-East India, Angola, and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The paper pays particular attention to the relationship between security and

development. Until relatively recently, the fields of security studies and development

studies had distinctive agendas and priorities. In the international environment at the

end of the Cold War, practitioners and scholars increasingly questioned this division

and re-framed security and development so that they are intricately linked. Forinstance, this view is reflected in the 2005 United Nations report In LargerFreedom, which states: Humanity will not enjoy security without development, itwill not enjoy development without security, and will not enjoy either without respect

for human rights.

Pol. 7 encourages students to critically explore and assess various claims about

conflict and peace through an analysis of the empirical and theoretical literature in

these fields. It draws on some of the themes raised in Pol 3 and Pol. 4, and addresses

core issues, problems and questions in analysing conflict in the developing world. The

paper asks, for instance, what is the socio-economic context of the use of violence?

Has the nature of conflict changed? What are the consequences of the securitisation ofdevelopment? What are the causes and features of civil wars? In what ways is conflict

a generative force? What kinds of norms and ideas govern international and regional

intervention in conflict and peacebuilding? Does international involvement manage or

enable political violence? What are the limits to the liberal peace?

In Michaelmas, the lectures explore the origins and nature of contemporary conflict.

We begin by discussing the contested meanings of concepts of security, war, and civilwar. We will then focus on a number of competing theories and claims about the

causes and dynamics of conflict, looking at notions of state failure, new wars andthe role of identity and democracy in conflict. The lectures emphasise how the

changing international political economy affects conflict through topics such as

poverty and inequality, natural resources, environmental scarcity and international

trade.

In Michaelmas we will also introduce ideas and approaches to conflict and peace

through the use of three detailed case studies: North-East India, Angola, and Bosnia-

Herzegovina.

Throughout Michaelmas and Lent, we will show a number of films, followed by a

discussion. These are not compulsory, but we encourage you to attend.

In Lent, the focus will be on peace and peacebuilding. Lectures will question the

concept of peacebuilding, and will critically assess the institutions, ideas and practices

underlying peacebuilding efforts. This lecture stream focuses on different

international and regional actors and their strategies and normative agendas. It

includes topics such as peacekeeping, the politics of humanitarian assistance,

international administration, and justice and reconciliation.

There will also be one seminar class in Michaelmas and two seminar classes in Lent

to discuss overarching themes and readings.

In Easter term there will be one revision lecture and one revision seminar. Each

student will also receive one revision supervision.

Aims and Objectives

This paper has the following aims and objectives:

to explore a range of ways of understanding possible connections betweenconflict and peace both historically and in contemporary politics

to provide a framework for thinking about the causes of conflict and itspotential evolution

to encourage critical reflection of theoretical assumptions regarding conflict,and peacebuilding, and available models and policy packages

to teach students how to read closely primary texts such as internationaltreaties, resolutions and official reports

Teaching and Assessment

This paper can be taken eitherby an undivided three-hour examination paper, fromwhich students should answer three questions, orby writing two 5,000-word essays.

Michaelmas and Lent terms. Essay titles should be chosen in consultation with thesupervisor. Three past examination papers, and the examiners reports for2010, 2011,2012 and 2013 are to be found at the end of this course guide. Handouts from lectures

are hosted on the CamTools website, to which all students enrolled in the course

should have access.

For students taking the paper by long essay, a list of essay titles is below. Students

taking the paper through this route are recommended to have three supervisions for

each of their essays. The deadlines for these essays will be posted on the

undergraduate PPS website or available from administrators.

All assessed essays must be submitted before the deadline in both electronic formatand on paper. Please hand the paper copy in the Politics & International Studies

Lecture 3: Angola: global and local, pol iti cs and economics

The Angolan civil war, which has its origins in anti-colonial struggles in the early

1960s, divided independent Angola from 1975 until 2002. The length and complexity

of the war have given rise to many incomplete and often partisan explanations, but

also give us cause for reflection on different theoretical perspectives on conflict. This

first lecture on Angola will focus on the interplay of global and local contingencies

and on the respective roles of political and economic factors in driving and shaping

the conflict.

Angola: losing the peace, winning the peace

Internationally brokered efforts to bring peace to Angola following the end of the

Cold War were spectacularly unsuccessful. However, the conflict came to an end in

2002 in a manner that seemed to defy many of the norms on how peacemaking should

be conducted. This second lecture will examine the failure of peace efforts in the

1990s and the ending of combat in 2002 in the light of the contingencies and

theoretical perspectives examined in the first lecture. It will investigate the impact of

the 2002 agreement on post-war politics, and consider what that agreement can tell us

about theories and norms of peacemaking.
