2:00 – 4:00 pm
The importance of ethnicity and religion to the creation of international trouble spots is enormous. Whether it is Serbian Muslims vs. Catholic Croats in the Balkans, Indian Hindus vs. Pakistani Muslims in South Asia, Israeli Jews vs. Palestinian Muslims in the Middle East, or Shiite Muslims vs. Sunni Muslims vs. Kurds in Iraq, these fissures have long plagued attempts to arrive at diplomatic solutions to all too-often violent clashes. Three distinguished social scientists will examine these various conflicts and discuss how they can possibly be resolved and what the implications are for U.S. foreign policy.
