Managing intercommunal conflict and violence is ever more important to national and international security in today's world. Societies are becoming much more diverse, and the globalization of conflicts around issues of ethnicity, religion, and culture is increasing. The master's program in coexistence and conflict has been designed to suit the requirements of people and organizations working in divided and conflicted societies, at local, national, and international levels, who want to learn how to more effectively prevent, manage, and resolve such conflicts.

Participants reflect upon the different kinds of ethnic, religious, and cultural conflicts that have been emerging around the world, particularly since the end of the Cold War, and the reasons for such an emergence. They will also look at the theories of contemporary intercommunal conflict as well as strategic interventions to such conflicts, including political, meditative, cultural, legislative, and developmental approaches. The program also offers students the opportunity to develop dialogue and mediation skills for use in situations of intercommunal conflict. The program is particularly geared toward early and mid-career professionals who are working, or aspire to work, within governments or international agencies. It is also useful for those who are working in related fields such as security and diplomacy, aid and development, human rights, and education, as well as democracy and civil society work.
