#214 Ethnic Conflict and Governance in Comparative Perspective: A Workshop Report
By Eric Rice and Kamran Ali
From the Introduction
This working paper is a rapporteur's report on the conference "Ethnic Conflict and Governance in Comparative Perspective," held at the Woodrow Wilson Center on November 15, 1994. The conference and this report were made possible by a generous grant from Pew Charitable Trusts. This grant enabled the Center to mount a series of six workshops on the general topic "Ethnic Conflict in the Post-Cold War Era." These workshops took a comparative approach to issues of ethnic conflict in countries around the globe: in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America; in advanced industrial economies; in countries undergoing the transition to market economies; in secular societies where religion is resurgent. Two were held abroad, in the Czech Republic and in Sri Lanka, to assure that scholars, journalists, and policymakers from other parts of the world might contribute their views to the discussion.
