Course
University engages you with the scholarly debates about global conflict today and in the
summary
recent past.
In the Global Conflict in the Modern Era Master you will explore the security measures that
have been instituted locally, regionally and globally in the modern world. You will study the
patterns of war and peace in the modern world from a multidisciplinary angle, incorporating
history, political and social science and area expertise. The programme examines the core
concepts and dominant approaches to the study of war, to subsequently move onto more
recent and critical takes on these phenomena. You will also explore the theoretical and
Course
empirical explanations for war and peace, that have been offered by the academic scholarship.

In addition you will investigate war, terrorism, insurgency and genocide as prevalent modes
of violent expression. Are these phenomena driven by political considerations? Or are there
other explanations for the use of violence? You will benefit from the close contacts between
the University and national and international government institutions in The Hague, as well as
the unique wealth of area studies at Leiden University. * Leiden University's Humanities
Faculty was recently ranked 25th in the Times Higher Education worldwide ranking.
