International Conflict Resolution (ICR)
The specialization in International Conflict Resolution provides students with an understanding of the root causes of international conflicts and of how conflict resolution takes place on an international level. Students also receive practical, hands-on training in various methodologies of international conflict resolution. The specialization, which builds on curriculum put in place by the Center for International Conflict Resolution at SIPA (CICR), provides a venue for leading practitioners and scholars to prepare the next generation of conflict resolution specialists. The specialization and CICR are directed by Jean-Marie Guéhenno, previously United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations. Students who previously studied international conflict resolution at SIPA have pursued careers in a wide range of national and international organizations and agencies.
