International conflicts often arise due to differences in practices, cultural norms, customs, and beliefs. In the humanitarian, political, and military context, misunderstandings can have dire results. In the business context, they can translate to failed ventures, cost overruns, and lost productivity.
The International Negotiations and Conflict Resolution concentration helps you identify appropriate ways of interacting with other cultures and building teamwork to not only resolve conflicts but to proactively identify potential areas of collaboration. Drawing from international law, anthropology, political science, and business, you'll learn to keep a global perspective and a sense of our growing interconnectedness in your approach to conflict management.
If you're a business professional with offices and facilities in other countries, the head of an international charity or aid organization, a political figure with international responsibilities, or a member of the military charged with peacekeeping, the International Negotiations and Conflict Resolution concentration can be a valuable tool to reach out to other cultures.
