Ringvorlesung: Insights into Conflict Hotspots Around the Globe

Inhalte des Fachs

Over the past 14 years, our world has seen a strong rise in violent conflicts. While all violent conflicts cause significant human suffering and destruction, their causes are case-specific and highly complex. The lecture series provides insights into the complexity of ongoing conflict hotspots around the globe. After an overview of global conflict trends, the lecture series brings together international experts who share their perspective on the drivers, developments and potential mitigation efforts of relevant conflicts, including the current war in the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine war as well as smaller-scale violent conflicts related to resource extraction and regimes changes in Africa and Latin America. Students attending the lecture series will not only gain a deeper understanding of specific conflicts and engage and discuss critical issues with experts, students will also be able to compare conflict dynamics and uncover structural causes of violent conflict.
