随着冲突变得越来越残酷，消耗战不对称或正常化为没有和平（没有战争）的国家，我们对冲突和冲突干预的理解正在发生变化。冲突很少是由军事胜利，外交或长期发展所决定的，而是需要通过一种全面的方法来确保人民的安全，这种方法要考虑到他们的政治，经济以及与安全相关的需求。他们的结果将取决于政府和民间社会的不同部门，无论是本地还是国际，可以如何协同工作，以及他们如何理解彼此的观点。这种跨学科和定制设计的理科硕士课程提供了独特的机会，可以从国防，发展和外交的角度审视冲突，冲突干预和冲突后的重建。理学硕士课程是为那些在政府，
Taught by academics and practitioners with a depth of regional expertise, this interdisciplinary MSc explores the ever-changing area of conflict, conflict intervention, and post-conflict reconstruction through the lenses of defence, development, and diplomacy. In recent decades, the combination of defence, development, and diplomacy (also known as the 3Ds) has played an increasingly important role in international politics. With more drawn-out conflicts, asymmetric wars of attrition, and a growing number of countries living in a state of no peace, no war, our understanding of conflict and conflict intervention is shifting. Conflicts are rarely resolved through military victory, international diplomacy, or long-term development. Instead, they require a comprehensive approach that combines all three to address the political, economic, and security-related needs of states and populations alike. Increasingly, success is determined by how well the different arms of government and civil society, both locally and internationally, can work together and how well they understand each other's perspectives.<br><br>This custom-designed, interdisciplinary MSc offers a unique opportunity to look at conflict, conflict intervention, and post-conflict reconstruction through the lenses of defence, development, and diplomacy. We explore the latest research using a range of innovative teaching techniques, delivered by a combination of academics and practitioners with world-leading expertise in areas such as violence and insecurity, international intervention, approaches to peace and justice, and mobility and displacement.<br><br>Your theoretical understanding and research skills are brought together in the MSc dissertation, while the innovative Humanitarian Intervention Simulation module gives you a chance to bring your knowledge and skills to life in a simulated conflict situation.<br><br>The MSc is likely to appeal to graduates who aspire to a career in government, the armed forces, inter-governmental organisations, NGOs, or academia, and to practitioners looking to enhance their practical skills while placing them within a broader theoretical perspective.
