Global Governance of Ed & Conflict (107X3)
The Global Governance of Education and Conflict
Module 107X3
Module details for 2021/22.
30 credits
FHEQ Level 7 (Masters)
Module Outline
The module seeks to critically explore the relationship between education and conflict in lowincome
countries. The complex relationship between education and conflict has risen up the
international policy agenda since the 1990s. This coincides with the Post-Cold War rise in
humanitarian and peacekeeping interventions by UN and NATO and a subsequent expansion of
educational aid and development activities in conflict and post conflict environments. The course
seeks to problematise the complex and multidirectional ways that education and conflict affect
each other and the role that education can potentially play in both the production and prevention
of violent armed conflict. More specifically it seeks to understand the global architecture, policies
and practices of major international institutions as they intervene into education in conflict and
post-conflict states. Students will gain insights into the key issues and development agencies that
are shaping the global education and conflict agenda and develop the skills to critically analyse
policy and practice.

Critically evaluate the major theories regarding the relationship between education and conflict.
Contextualise the main international educational policies, programmes, and governance mechanisms that have emerged in response to education in conflict affected situations.
