Mediating Violent Conflict
Feb. 2 – April 27 / Tuesdays / 5:30pm – 7:30pm (All day simulation Sat. April 10)
Mediation is both an art and science, and requires skilled analysis, careful planning and effective communication.

Participants will practice their skills through simulations, role-play and case studies.
Enhancing Social Well-Being in Fragile States
Feb. 8 – May 10 / Mondays 6pm – 8:30pm
This course explores challenges and opportunities for successful humanitarian assistance and longer-term needs for social well-being and development in fragile states. Drawing upon case studies students will analyze the links between social well-being (public health, education, environmental protection, refugee needs) and traditional resonstruction sectors. Students will also explore the relationship between reconciliation and social well-being.
Foundations of Conflict Analysis
Feb. 8 – 12 / 9am – 4pm
Enhance your “strategic foresight” in volatile and complex conflict environments in order to anticipate and respond to emerging threats. Using case studies from the Rwandan genocide to Afghanistan, you will learn an intuitive approach to conflict analysis based on strategic listening, quantitative and qualitative conflict assessment methods, scenario gaming, and other skills. Prerequisite: Completion of USIP Online Certificate Course in Conflict Analysis.
Engaging with Identity-Based Differences: Religious, Ethnic, and Minority Groups
Feb. 22 – 26 9am – 4pm
Identity-based conflicts rooted in ethnic or religious differences pose distinctive challenges for third-party mediators and other advisors. The course will outline strategies for addressing these issues, including responding to leaders who enflame identities, approaching the touchy issue of religion—both your own and local people, building relationships through dialogue and ritual, and making use of indigenous or traditional reconciliation measures.
Strengthening Capacity by Training, Mentoring, Advising
March 22 – 26 / 9am – 5pm
Whether deployed to conduct training, mentor and/or advise, professionals from any sector bring significant assets to strengthen the capacity of individuals, institutions and society as a whole in post-conflict environments.

Cultural Adaptability in Complex Operations

Participants will be offered a comprehensive introduction to rule of law assistance in conflict-affected states. Through the use of case studies and interactive exercises, participants will be able to practice core rule of law skills and look at the dilemmas faced in rule of law promotion.
Facilitating Security and Protection in Fragile States
April 26 – 30 / 9am – 5pm
This course presents the interconnectedness of the foreign and local military, civilian police, NGOs and civil society and the numerous challenges inherent in the eventual transfer of responsibility for security to local forces. Participants will practice strategies that demystify the complex interactions between security reform mechanisms and the various challenges of peacekeeping. Exercise topics include civ-mil relations, reforming local police forces, protection of civilians and IDPs, SSR, and DDR.
Negotiation from Checkpoints to High Politics
May 10 – 14 9am – 5pm
Advanced training for people who face negotiation challenges in their professional work. Participants learn to adapt their tactics to varying, dynamic situations, and learn how to plan for a negotiation. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, participants master a 15-point framework that encourages improvisation and helps overcome barriers to agreement in situations ranging from policy coordination to crisis negotiations in the field to high-level diplomatic encounters.
Governance and Democratic Practices in War to Peace Transitions
May 24 – 28 9am – 3:30pm
How is good governance achieved in states that have collapsed? Develop effective strategies in establishing stable institutions and supporting a robust civil society. Dynamic modules address the inter-relationship among issues of corruption, accountability, rule of law, elections, political party development, public administration, and economic reconstruction in divided societies.
Economics and Conflict
May 24 – 28 9am – 5pm
Participants will explore the analytical links between economic activity and conflict as well as the practical constraints and rewards of using economic instruments of conflict management. Case studies and simulations set in Kosovo, Haiti, and Sudan encourage participants to formulate economic instruments within a strategic framework for economic development in vulnerable and conflict-affected states.
Leading Adaptive Teams In Conflict Environments
June 7 – 11 9am – 5pm
An introductory leadership course for practitioners expecting to lead diverse teams in conflict environments: maximize your ability to make effective decisions in chaotic, uncertain environments, to provide leadership influence in situations where you might not have authority, and to understand systems that contribute to, or are resilient to conflict dynamics. Includes a multi-day simulation on leading a team in the field through complex problem that challenges a leader's capacity to manage the competing stakeholder expectations while attempting to implement a long-term solution.
Peacebuilding Organizations and Institutions
June 14 – 18 / 9am – 5pm
This course covers the missions, cultures, operating procedures, and other essential characteristics of key international organizations, regional organizations, government organizations, militaries, and nongovernmental organizations in peace operations and stability operations. Inter-organizational planning, communication, and coordination in hostile environments are also addressed.
Peace Processes: Making a Deal, Making It Stick
July 12 -16 / 9am – 5pm
While peace agreements are difficult to attain, their implementation often proves even more challenging in the quest for the desired end state. This course gives participants a comprehensive perspective that seeks to reconcile peace talks and implementation processes, including strategies on getting parties to the table, addressing paradoxes, asymmetries, and ambiguities in peace processes. Participants will explore related concepts and phenomena such as diasporas, spoilers, gender inclusion, ritual transformation, and power dynamics.
