PSCI 310 Civilians in Armed Conflict 4.0 Credits
What happens to civilians in times of war? What are the responsibilities of militaries and rebel groups to people under their control -- and do they meet them? Who counts as a "civilian," anyway? This course considers these questions and more. We examine the definition and causes of armed conflict, before turning to key issues such as civilian coping strategies during armed conflict, common patterns of violence against civilians, legal and policy remedies for human rights violations, and the politics of human rights advocacy.
