Rwanda Ten Years Later - Student Conflict Briefing

WSU Student — Thu, 8 Dec 2005 22:11:00 -0500

This podcast is a conflict theory brief created for our Roots of Social Conflict class at Wayne State University, Master of Arts in Dispute Resolution Program. We will be examining several social conflict theories and their applications to the Rwanda Genocide Case.

For our group conflict brief we discuss various conflict theorists like Dahrendorf, Homans, Homer-Dixon, Pruitt & Rubin, Kriesberg and Dollard. Our Rwanda Project will give you a better insight into how conflict is formed, escalated, and carried-out by individuals, groups, organization’s and states. We demonstrate how the theorist’s conflict theories can be applied to the past and present conflict. Last, we recommend sound conflict resolution strategies that we have learned in our case study of Rwanda Ten Years Later.
