Scholarship Description: Three MA scholarships are available on the topic “Peace-building in the Pacific” tenable at the Philosophy and Political Science Department of the University of Canterbury. These scholarships are part of the Marsden-funded project, Building Sustainable Peace in the Pacific, initially developed by the late Professor Jacob Bercovitch. This project aims to examine the post-conflict experiences of Pacific states: to understand why peace settlements and negotiations break down and violent conflict resumes: and to consider how best to achieve the foundations of long-lasting justice and reconciliation so as to create sustainable and durable peace. This project will consider a wide range of factors, including the role played by security forces and the judiciary; the role of development aid and economic restructuring; the part played by civil society and democratic institutions in fostering peace; the role of mediation in achieving peace; and the role of international organisations in conflict management.
