#POLI1017 #POLI2049 Useful when thinking about the interaction between gender, conflict, and peace processes.

#POLI2049 Relevant to this week's discussions on post-colonialism in international politics and later discussions in the module on changes in the international order over the course of the 20th century. Also potentially relevant for those working on the case analysis about the Non-Aligned Movement.

#POLI2049 A good overview of the civil war in Sudan and potential paths forward. Relevant for our discussion of Civil Wars later in the module.

#POLI2049 Relevant to both last week's discussion of international orders and this week's discussion of whether the origins of IR have built Euro-centric assumptions into the discipline. (Also interesting for #POLI1017)
