MSc Violence, Conflict and Development

SOAS University of London

This pioneering MSc Violence, Conflict and Development programme explores the complex links between violent conflict and development, both historically and today.This programme examines the analytical, political and policy relationships between violence, conflict and development. The core module addresses empirical trends, difficulties of data collection and the importance of categorisation and boundaries to matters of violence. It goes on to present foundational theories on conflict and violence, including gender perspectives, debates about the origins of human violence (anthropological, historical, psychological sources of violence) and the role of violence in historical change.
