Description
This course provides an in-depth examination of the range of variation in cross-cultural behaviors and responses involved in disputes and their resolution, with particular emphasis on methods and issues surrounding conflicts and conflict resolutions in a variety of non-Western societies. While the focus is primarily on small-scale societies typically studied by anthropologists and the models/cultural perspectives these groups use to resolve disputes and negotiate settlements, students will compare and analyze conflict in societies of varying size and complexity, including our own.
