Globalization
Globalization is the ongoing process of linking people around the world: economically, socially, and culturally. In terms of conflict, globalization has benefits and costs. Some people think it will reduce international conflicts by increasing interdependence, others see the inequities inherent in the way it is happening as a major cause of conflict.

These are tribunals designed to prosecute war crimes such as genocide, torture, and rape.

"This knowledge base examines very difficult, destructive, long-lasting conflicts. We explore what makes these conflicts different from other conflicts, and more importantly what can be done to lessen their destructiveness and make them more constructive."
