A Case Study of Applied Peace and Conflict Resolution in East Africa and the Founding of the Nyerere Centre for Peace Research

Warren Haffar ; Sandra Jones

Abstract

This paper profiles the creation of the Nyerere Centre for Peace Research in Arusha, Tanzania and the evolution of a unique approach to applied peace and conflict resolution in Arcadia University's Master's degree program in International Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR). The focus is on a curriculum that bridges theory and practice in the conflict resolution field through the implementation of project-based learning initiatives, an approach particularly well-suited to the subject matter because it joins students, faculty and stakeholders together to solve problems and impact positive social change. The paper chronicles the development of this approach from within the IPCR program, including the partnership with the East African Community and the founding of the Nyerere Centre for Peace Research in Arusha, Tanzania.
