Real appriciate for PhD programme link.we could now start thinking of preventing the conflict grassroots instead of studying to solve conflict.We normally have expertize to solve confict instead of preventing it.The experience shows we that we always come to solve confict after the people had suffered alot.This doesnt bring sense to my mind,it is good that we focus on people,organizations who fuel conflict in Africa,because the experience shows that those areas with potential minerals is the one conflict break from,so where do these people get weapons?
I think these are things we should focus.

In response to Quincy's question, I think people are just waking up to discover that conflict resolution is a discipline of interest. Conflict resolution is very broad and deep than political science. I did political science during my MSc program. Conflict resolution is an interdisciplinary path. in fact in some universities it is a multi-disciplinary path. Having done a PhD in Conflict Resolution, I can surely tell you what conflict resolution covers is beyond political science. Now, if you are to go and be a professor you may also meet those who are ignorant of the discipline because throughout their life nothing of such was in the curriculum. This is a dynamic course that can make you work in the medical line, bank,industry, military, mining, air force ,marine, academics,etc.
You need to choose from the best universities. Some universities are just offering the course with no focus. You may find a historian as the chair of the department with no knowledge of peace studies/conflict resolution. You need to get to universities where you will be brushed- both breadth and depth- very well. I commend our honorable Craig for this elaborate posting. Quincy, go for conflict resolution and you will see things beyond political science.
John
