This dual degree program combines the faculties of two renowned educational institutions: George Mason’s Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution School, the oldest and largest programme of graduate conflict studies in the United States, and the University of Malta’s recently established Centre for the Study and Practice of Conflict Resolution (CSPCR), whose main interests are, inter alia, conflict resolution practices, the relationship between conflict and human rights, as well as justice and security. The Carter School and CSPCR share teaching responsibilities in this program.
Students who successfully complete this collaborative postgraduate programme earn two Masters degrees: MSc Conflict Analysis and Resolution from George Mason University and an MA Conflict Resolution and Mediterranean Security from the University of Malta.
The programme aims to provide students with an array of theoretical and practical tools that will enable them to:
(1) Carry on a systematic and ongoing study of the nature, origins, and types of conflicts,
(2) Analyze the international relations and security scenarios of the Mediterranean region and in particular the nature, types and origins of the conflicts in this context,
(3)Develop the requisite processes and conditions for the productive resolution of conflicts,
(4) Apply the theories, skills, processes and techniques to empirical case-studies that will focus primarily on the Mediterranean.
