GOVT 40.05 Politics of Ethnicity

This course examines the intersection of ethnicity and politics by drawing on a combination of theoretical works and case studies to answer questions such as: What are ethnic groups and why might they matter for political behavior? How do political institutions shape ethnic identities? When does ethnicity serve as the basis for conflict and violence? Our focus will be comparative, and we will explore many parts of the world, particularly Africa, India, and Latin America.
