Government 225 - COLQ: ETHNIC PLTCS/COMP PERSPC

What is the relationship between ethnicity and politics? When does ethnic difference lead to competition and conflict? Does coethnicity encourage greater cooperation and provision of public goods? We will explore these and related questions looking at experiences across the world. Though we will read scholarship from the American context, the focus will be on ethnicity and politics in other countries. Enrollment limit of 20 students.
