POSC 325 - Ethnic Conflict/Ethnic Peace

Institution:

Denison University

Subject:

Description:

This course will help students comprehend the nature of ethnic conflict, as well as understand why some multiethnic states avoid ethnic wars while others do not. Using two sets of case studies, the course contrasts ethnic war in Yugoslavia and Chechnya with peaceful resolution of ethnic issues in Czechoslovakia and Tatarstan. We also look to Northern Ireland, the Kurds, Uighurs, Basques, and other groups for a more nuanced view of "ethnic conflict." 4
