The European Union as a Global Conflict Manager
The purpose of this course is to examine the European Union's emerging role in international conflict management. More specifically, it attempts to address the following three questions: (1) How can we conceptually grasp and theorize the EU's role(s), effectiveness and impact concerning the management of international conflicts?; (2) how can we categorise the different conflict management instruments the EU has at its disposal and what is their potential to prevent or resolve violent conflicts?; (3) how effective is the EU as a conflict manager and what conditions influence its effectiveness? Along these questions, the course is structured in three parts. The first part introduces the basic concepts and theoretical approaches to understand and explain the EU's involvement in conflict management. In the second part, we analyse the different conflict management instruments the EU has at its disposal, such as sanctions, mediation, good offices, military operations and civilian missions. Finally, in the third part of the course we investigate the EU's involvement in a number of individual cases such as the Syrian civil war, the conflict over Iran's nuclear programme or the armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine, and discuss the potential conditions that influence the EU's effectiveness and impact as global conflict manager.
