Ethnic conflict threatens political stability in countries around the world. From Iraq to Bolivia, from Spain to Indonesia, conflicts have erupted over a wide variety of "ethnic" issues in recent years. Yet despite it ubiquity, ethnic politics remains poorly understood: Why do people identify with ethnic groups? Why does ethnic identity sometimes lead to private ritual, sometimes to peaceful mobilization through mass movements or political parties, and sometimes to violent contlict, pogroms, and genocide? Most pressingly, are there solutions to ethnic conflict, particularly in deeply-divided, violence-ridden countries? This course gives an overview of current theories of ethnic politics, covering ethnic identity formation, ethnic mobilization, and conflict reduction measures. While focusing on ethnic groups in the developing world, the course includes significant attention to the broader commonalities of ethnic politics and includes readings on ethnic politics in the developed world.

American defense policy is undergoing a transformation now that the Cold War has ended. The end of Soviet communism has led to a reevaluation of the threats, which confront the United States and policies, and strategies, which are necessary to meet those threats. Implementing changes in America's defense policy will not be an easy or painless task. There are many entrenched interests within the military and in American society who will resist changes in policy, strategy, and budgets. The policy choices, which are made in these years, will shape American defense policy for decades to come. This course investigates the formulation of American defense policy. Students become acquainted with the major institutions and their responsibilities, the different policy areas and some of the current debates over defense policy. Little time is devoted to examining actual operations by the American military.
