Prerequisites

There are no academic prerequisites.

You must be able to read English regularly and attend classes on a regular basis.

You must have the ability and habit of reading, watching, studying and consulting various general media, as well as following in particular news related to the international agenda and conflict and peace processes.

Objectives and Contextualisation

The main objective of this optional subject is to familiarise students with the evolution, concepts, theoretical tools and practical application of various subfields of International Relations, in a broad sense, as well as with their main biases or specific approaches for analysing and intervening in conflicts with the aim of managing, resolving or transforming them.

Specifically, the objectives are:

1. To situate the study of international conflicts and how to intervene in the general framework of the social sciences, as well as in a historical and evolutionary perspective.

2. To study the notion of conflict, its types and its logic and dynamics in international politics.

3. To provide conceptual and analytical frameworks for framing social and international conflicts, as well as their nature, recurrence and location, in particular with regional and sub-regional logics. In concrete terms, to apprehend a pattern of analysis applicable to different international conflicts, in particular to armed conflicts, or conflicts that could easily develop into such conflicts.

4. Apply the pattern to several conflicts over the last fifty years.

5. To become succinctly acquainted with the various instruments for conflict prevention, management, resolution and transformation.

Teaching methodology and training activities

The student's dedication to the subject is divided into different types of activities, which, in coherence, are materialised in different requirements and differentiated methodologies. This is a 6 ECTS course, therefore 150 hours.
These 150 hours are divided into activities articulated as follows:

a) Face-to-face or directed (50 hours, 33,3 %).
Lectures with the use of ICT and debates: 20 sessions (40 hours).
Classroom seminars: 2 sessions (6 hrs)
Assessable classroom practicals: 2 sessions (4 hrs)

b) Supervised activities: reading controls, text commentaries, 3 practicals, tutorials for assignments, comments on exams and assignments: 25 hrs (16.7%).

c) Evaluation: Block exam, final evaluation work, and remedial evaluation: 7,5 hrs (5%)

d) Autonomous work of the student (study and work at home and/or library): 67,5 hrs (45%)

2. Practical instructions for the virtual campus material and classroom activity
Each theoretical lesson will have: a) a specific outline to guide the face-to-face/directed sessions and other related activities; b) one or two compulsory readings; and c) some additional references.
The readings, compulsory and additional (other than references to books or web pages) will be available on the virtual campus, grouped in specific tabs related to each lesson.
There will be optional additional material, grouped in folders with ad hoc titles: e-books, material on conflict transformation, case studies, etc.
A ppt will be used in each session, of which a pdf copy will be available, per lesson, on the virtual campus.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Title	Weighting	Learning Outcomes
Case studies	30%	1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 22, 24, 25, 28, 31, 32
Control of readings and comprehension of literature	20%	4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 17, 21, 25, 28, 30
Final Exam (presential and also with a take-home)	50%	3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30

The evaluation of this subject consists of the following parts:
1. A partial exam of the first two blocks of the programme (topics 1-8), which constitutes 35% of the final grade.
2. A partial exam on the rest of the syllabus (topics 9-15), 35% of the final mark, which will be held on the last day of class.
3. Two practicals, each worth 10% of the final mark (20% overall). One of the practicals will consist of a presentation in class and the other of the application of the analysis guideline to an armed conflict.
4. Continuous assessment: class participation and debates, text commentaries, and other activities programmed by the teaching staff, 10% of the final mark.

Important considerations:
In order to pass the course, it will be a necessary condition that it is not sufficient to obtain a minimum mark of 4 in each of the exams of each semester. In this sense, students are required to demonstrate a basic and balanced knowledge of the theoretical contents of both semesters. Once this minimum mark of 4 has been achieved in the exams, the weighted average will be calculated together with the marks for the practicals.
When the final weighted mark of both parts (exams and practicals), plus the programmed work and activities is equal to or higher than 5, the course will be considered as passed.
In order to pass the course, it is necessary but not sufficient to obtain a minimum of 4 in both partial exams. If one of the two exams is failed with less than a 4, the course is not passed.
The fact of sitting one of the two exams or having sat ONE of the practicals exempts the student from the grade of "NOT PRESENTED".
Undergraduate students who have not passed the first or second exam (or both exams) will have the opportunity to take the compensatory activities, i.e. they will be able to retake the failed exams on the day determined by the Faculty for the ordinary assessment exam (NOT for the compensatory one), having finished the second term of the second four-month period.
The dates of the practicals, other activities and controls will be specified in the course programme (Virtual Campus). Internships cannot be retaken.
Students on exchange programmes will have the same evaluation conditions as the rest of the students.

Single assessment:

Students who have so requested in due time and form, may take advantage of a single assessment consisting of an exercise consisting of an exam (70% of the mark) and a practical activity (30%).

This exercise will take place on the last day of class at the end of the term. In case of failing this test with a score of 5 out of 10 points, the exercise may be recovered on the date set by the Faculty for the ordinary evaluation (NOT the compensatory one) and will be made public with sufficient notice.
