MSc Defence, Development and Diplomacy

... United Kingdom
... Durham University - Study Group

Course Overview

With conflicts becoming either increasingly drawn-out, asymmetric wars of attrition or normalise into states of no peace €“ no war, our understanding of conflict and conflict intervention is shifting. Conflicts are rarely determined by military victory, diplomacy or long-term development, but require securing populations through a comprehensive approach that sees to their political, and economic, as well as their security-related needs. Their outcome will be determined by how well the different arms of government and civil society, both locally and internationally, can work together and how well they understand each others' perspectives. This interdisciplinary and custom-designed MSc offers the unique opportunity to look at conflict, conflict intervention and post-conflict reconstruction through the lenses of defence, development and diplomacy.
