Essay on the Conflict and Rule of Law Final Essay featuring a rule of law development topic. The Final Essay is an analysis, presentation of an analytic framework and a proposal for addressing a "real world" problem: identifying a root cause of conflict in a specific context (country or sub-region of a country) and proposing a rule of law approach to addressing that root cause in a manner which would prevent or mitigate conflict or contribute to peacebuilding.

Drawing from lessons presented in the modules and other case study scenarios, the essay will identify a driver of conflict or violence in a state, note the most relevant actors (internal and external), institutions and structural factors (e.g. resources, geography, climate, demographics, global trade, price and finance factors) involved. The Essay will then propose a rule of law remedy as a tool for conflict mitigation, prevention or transition to peacebuilding, e.g., security engagements that restore confidence while enhancing stability and predictability for development; or expanding economic legality for additional investment and job opportunities; or mitigating climate change to prevent internal displacement and loss of livelihoods etc. The Essay will provide citations for its conclusions of facts and present an analytic framework that supports the feasibility/practicality of proposed rule of law approach. Provide References as well.
