Description
The aim of this module is to examine four interconnected issues: 1) The dynamic nature of conflict and disaster, and its complexities within the current context, taking into account global trends; 2) The organisational adaptation of international humanitarian, development and political agencies to protracted political crises; 3) The analysis of these developments in relation to ideas on conflict transformation, crisis management and social reconstruction; 4) The specific role and skills required by agencies engaged in humanitarian aid and social reconstruction. The module brings together the study of health issues and social sciences, looking at issues of resilience, disaster responsiveness and institutional collaboration.
