The Conflict Studies Research Center (CSRC)​

The Conflict Studies Research Center (CSRC) at the Arab American University in Palestine is the first center in the region to focus on academic research in the field of Policy & Conflict Resolution. It also operates as a Think Tank, generating regular policy papers and offering policy advice to Palestinian political decision-makers. The center serves as a hub in the region for researchers and specialized centers in the field of conflict resolution from around the world.​

Master's and Ph.D. programs in Conflict Resolution:​

The Arab American University also offers academic programs for conflict resolution (Master's and Ph.D. programs in Conflict Resolution) that integrate theories, methodologies, and practical skills from various academic fields, including political science, political sociology, and international law, alongside extensive studies in development. These programs enhance a rational understanding of different international conflicts and analyze them by mapping peacebuilding initiatives, providing real proposals for reconciliation processes, best practices, and lessons learned. The program's literature covers a wide range of issues such as post-colonial peace models, transitional justice, human rights, memory studies, and identity studies.​
