Investigates the link between economic conditions and conflict. Participants learn how poverty, unemployment, and economic disparity can fuel frustration and violence, whereas sustainable economic models that promote shared prosperity can reduce conflict drivers. This lesson might cover community cooperative projects, fair resource distribution, job creation in marginalized areas, and other economic strategies that have resolved or mitigated conflicts. Learners are encouraged to analyze how improving economic opportunities and reducing inequality can reconcile tensions (for example, land disputes resolved by fair allocation or training programs that divert youth from crime).
