5.11 // Certificate in International Conflict Transformation at LdM Rome

This one-semester fifteen-credit certificate offers an intensive study program in which students of different career paths learn how to analyze and evaluate conflict from an international perspective. The certificate takes place in Rome, Italy’s capital and a city well situated to provide international knowledge and insights, located as it is at a major geographical intersection. Through five courses, students become better informed about global politics and can measure the difference between principles and practice. The courses generally take a case-based and current affairs approach, and class sessions are highly interactive. The three core courses explore the nature of conflict and of violence, the workings of international humanitarian assistance, and modern strategies for resolving (or transforming) conflict. Students have a choice of two track courses in which they further pursue closely related topics: the real effects of globalization; the anatomy of terrorism; the operations of the UN and other organizations in Rome.

Writing assignments will be given weekly.

Managing a farm that uses the organic agriculture philosophy entails using new operational techniques that permit productivity and quality, while respecting the constraints imposed by legislation, and at the same time optimizing business profitability. In the transition from traditional to organic farming it is important to choose techniques as well as a variety of products that generate the best results in that particular environment.
