The Course in Theory and Experience of the Solution of Armed Conflict provides tools of analysis for the understanding of the dynamics of contemporary armed conflict, and their possible solution through negotiation. Our diploma program places special emphasis on multidisciplinary approaches to war and peace, and to the search for comparative lessons which may help to solve the Colombian problem. The intention there is to promote analysis, discussion, and the construction of strategies for possible negotiated solutions to the Colombian conflict.

The objectives of this program are first, to provide a theoretical framework and case studies to make an approach to internal and inter-state armed conflict, such as the Colombian conflict in particular. Second, to provide tools for analysis which will allow the understanding of the possibilities of a negotiated solution to armed conflict, and finally to make a comparative analysis of the many dimensions of internal wars and peace processes, with special emphasis on the situation in Colombia.
