GOVT-409 Comparative Ethnic and Religious Conflict
Offered academic year 2010-2011
The world seems to be exploding from ethnic and religious conflicts, promoting political extremism and endangering democracy. Yet, our understanding of and solutions to these conflicts are woefully inadequate. This course seeks to address this dilemma, at least partly, by examining alternative theoretical perspectives and selected regional case studies. Established conservative, liberal and radical perspectives as well as more recent political-economic, cultural studies, gender and ecological approaches will be explored. Their relevance will be considered in the context of case studies of ethno-religious conflicts in the U.S.A, South Asia and other regions. International dimensions of these conflicts and democratic social movements and policy initiatives that seek conflict resolution will also be covered.
