Focuses on the role of government and leadership in sustaining peace. Participants examine how fair, inclusive, and accountable governance can address systemic sources of conflict. Topics include policy development that promotes equity, the rule of law, anti-corruption measures, and avenues for grievances to be heard. Learners consider examples of how unjust policies or lack of representation have led to unrest, and conversely how transparent governance and justice initiatives (like community policing or anti-discrimination laws) can reconcile and prevent conflict.
