MA Conflict, Governance and International Development
University of East Anglia: School of International Development

The turbulence in world politics over the past two decades has shown that it is extremely difficult to meet international development targets in the economic, human, and social sectors in states experiencing endemic political instability, violent civil conflict, gross human rights abuses, and acute crises of governance. This MA Conflict, Governance and International Development adopts a unique interdisciplinary approach combining development perspectives in the analysis, understanding, and practical foundations for advanced studies in human rights, the origins of conflict and conflict resolution, democratisation, good governance and civil society. In addition to units covering conflict, governance and development perspectives, the degree course addresses competing perspectives on contemporary world development, and on key issues such as (Post) Cold War Order, civil society, international relations and democracy, globalisation, political and governance and international political economy. If you have a good first degree in any of the social sciences we would welcome an application from you. The Masters is highly appropriate to those interested in conflict, peace-building, humanitarian aid and issues around governance.

Good social science degree. International applicants should have an English language score of at least 6.5 on the British Council IELTS test (minimum 6.0 in all components).
