Description

Why do people rebel against their governments? What explains why civil wars begin? What are the consequences of civil wars on health and human welfare? These are the core questions we ask during the course. We approach these topics by examining the competing arguments of relative deprivation, resource mobilisation, economic and rational choice theories as well as ethnic and psychocultural explanations of rebellion. We think about the applicability of these arguments around the globe including the civil war in Syria and previous episodes of conflict in Liberia and elsewhere.
