"Frozen conflicts“ im 21. Jahrhundert

“Frozen conflicts” are a growing phenomenon in our post-cold war world. The seminar held in English explores a variety of such conflict areas, in which usually separatists proclaim their own statehood, which is not recognized by the United Nations. What all these conflicts and „de-facto states“ have in common is that they oscillate between war and peace, because the actual conflicts are not resolved and an external “patron” takes a strong influence. The seminar is part of the project „Digital Outgoing“, which aims to help you to improve your English language skills while inspiring you to go abroad for an Erasmus-Semester in the future. Experts for Frozen Conflicts from our partner Universities, probably University College/Dublin and Radboud University/Nijmwegen will join us via ZOOM and enrich our discussion with their historical expertise and teaching skills.
