Abstract: | This article uses a case study of the assessment of a graduate program in negotiations and conflict management as a springboard
for discussing several critical, but unanswered questions in our field. It raises questions regarding the lack of clear core
competencies and expectations regarding curricula at the graduate-level of peace and conflict studies programs, as well as
concerns over how educators in this field can or should assess their own work and train students for practice. It also addresses,
via a comparative case analysis in Tajikistan, the degree to which the competencies and pedagogical approaches in this field
are culturally bound. The picture that emerges from these case studies suggests that there have been important omissions in
the way that the varied educational programs and the larger peace and conflict studies field itself have developed thus far. |
