| Title | Dealing with the Past |
| Organiser | swisspeace |
| Date | 29 January-02 February 2024 |
| Location | online |
| Short description | Finding a way to deal with a violent past in the aftermath of civil war or the end of an authoritarian regime, is argued to be the basis for lasting peace, democracy and the rule of law. This includes the identification of past human rights violations, the prosecution of perpetrators on a national or international level, the rehabilitation of victims, through the commemoration, the establishment of truth commissions and reparation programs, and the implementation of guarantees of non-recurrence. Course participants will critically reflect on such processes, the available mechanisms, and assess their effects on society as a whole and on victims and perpetrators in particular. |

| Title | Climate Change, Natural Resources & Conflicts |
| Organiser | swisspeace |
| Date | 14-16 February 2024 |
| Location | online |
| Short description | This course explores how climate change and related international and national policies impact conflicts. The course sets off with an introduction to the key economic, political, and social concepts that have served to hypothesize and investigate the causal linkages between natural resources and conflicts. Next, we look at the technological and policy drivers of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGs) since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and explore the foundations of global and climate policies with emphasis on the more recent developments that have taken place since the 2015 Paris Agreement was reached. Bringing together these two discussions, we explore, reflect upon, and discuss which regions and countries are affected and how, and how different stakeholders might be able to contribute to addressing climate-induced conflicts. |
