19-31/7/2015- Second International Summer School (ISS) in Peace and Conflict Studies (Λευκωσία, Κύπρος)

Following the success of the 2014 International Summer School (ISS) in Peace and Conflict Studies, the Department of Social and Political Sciences, University of Cyprus, announces the Second International Summer School in Peace and Conflict Studies, which is organized in collaboration with the European Consortium for Political Research and the International Association for Peace and Conflict Studies. The 2015 ISS focus theme will be "State Fragmentation, Regional Crises and War Endings."

Theme & Objectives

The purpose of the ISS is to bring together leading academics in the interdisciplinary field of Peace and Conflict Studies with practitioners and postgraduate students who are working in this area. The objective is to develop a corpus of critical knowledge which will influence peacebuilding theory, methodology, ethics and policy, as well as to have a broader impact on the key agendas of IR-peacemaking. To this end, the subjects and themes of the summer school will range from peace and conflict theories to policy analysis and field work experiences. This multileveled approach to the problems of peace and conflict studies – from theory to practice – will be channeled into all the various themes and subjects; in this way, the ISS forum will be both broad and deep in scope.

Credits

All participants receive a Summer School Certificate of Attendance (5 ECTS) or a Diploma (10 ECTS) on the basis of a 7000 words Research Paper.

Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships will be awarded on a merit and need basis to partially cover participation and/or travel expenses.
