An extended discussion on the interaction of conflict and education and the contribution of education to causes of conflict. A useful discussion of 3 theories of the causes of conflict in the developing world – clash of civilizations (Huntingdon), structural inequalities and insecurity (Duffield) and rational choice/greed based motivations (Collier). Examples of education contributing to or causing violence as well as suffering from it Differentiation between an internal ‘education politics’ agenda and a more external ‘politics of education’ point of view.
Useful but very theoretical and contextual in the broadest sense.
