DESCRIPTION:
Worldwide, casualties from armed violence have significantly decreased over the past 25 years. But does this mean we have learned our lessons in war? Look at the various reasons for this trend, including the decline of colonialism, the end of the Cold War, and the rise of globalization and international diplomacy. We’ll dissect the growing body of research in such areas as conflict resolution, war prevention and peacekeeping.
