講義概要/Course description
|
This course explores peacebuilding s that follow after civil wars. Building lasting peace following internal conflicts is, in effect, meant to rebuild states that have fallen into disrepair. Peacebuilding-related activities are typically conducted under the auspices of the international community, which is eager to integrate liberal vales (e.g. democracy, human rights, a market economy) as the basis for reconstruction in post-conflict states. In reality, the international emphasis on liberal ideologies often meets resistance in war-torn nations, which tend to have conservative cultures and traditional values. This raises a crucial question, whether it is appropriate and effective to apply liberal ideas to a conflicted non-Wester nation. In this class, we will consider the ramifications of this question, applying theoretical means and case studies.
