Master of Arts in Conflict Resolution - Georgetown. Conflict at both intergroup and interpersonal levels is a dominant theme of the human condition in the twenty-first century. Numerous violent international conflicts persist in Afghanistan, Iraq, Colombia, and the Middle East. At the domestic level, tensions and conflicts also extend along divisions based on religion, race, ethnicity, social class, culture, and language. Moreover given the increasing strain on the world's environment, conflict over limited resources such as water, is likely to increase. The need for conflict resolution practitioners and researchers is urgent, and likely to increase in the harsh economic climate ahead. As a major research university steeped in Jesuit traditions and blessed with international reach and talent, Georgetown University is meeting this global and national need by developing additional strengths in conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
