| Indhold: |
The main objective of the course is by using a mix of theoretical inputs on contemporary war, mass violence and conflict, and then a selected number of cases from the 20-21st century to problematize the often simplified analytical notion that can be found in the description of asymmetric wars and in the new wars concept. The students will be asked to deconstruct a selected number of empirical conflict cases, different both in nature, time and space, to challenge the theoretical claims and to create a better understanding of the nature of the contemporary conflicts. The selected cases will geographically originate both from Africa and from other places, thus providing a comparative approach, while maintaining a certain focus on contemporary conflicts in Africa. One of the objectives for the course is to challenge the claim of African uniqueness. |
