Course Overview
Strengthen your capability to navigate, negotiate, and manage territorial and boundary disputes through legal, diplomatic, and strategic frameworks.
Course Overview
Boundary disputes—whether terrestrial, maritime, or aerial—remain among the most sensitive and complex challenges for governments, regulatory authorities, and geopolitical institutions. Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates international law, diplomacy, negotiation strategy, historical context, and national security considerations.
This programme explores key legal principles governing territorial claims, practical diplomatic tools for dispute resolution, and strategic approaches to managing tensions while safeguarding national interests. Participants will examine global case studies, evaluate competing claims, and learn how states develop mechanisms to prevent escalation, maintain stability, and reach durable agreements.
