Synopsis

This course explores global conflict communication from the perspective of individuals, local communities, nation states, global corporations and NGOs, and transnational agreements, treaties and negotiations. Conflicts over resources' such as minerals, energy, land and water; and over consequences of pollution' such as greenhouse emissions and toxic wastes; are at the heart of most global conflicts today. This course will use case studies that engage students in consideration of sustainability practices and principles for global and local economies, communities, and environment. Case studies in global conflict communication develop and extend understanding of theories and practice of cross cultural communication. This course develops advanced critical research literacy skills that build upon knowledge and skills developed in CMS1010 and CMS2022.
