  • World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability
    World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability Professor Amy Chua, Yale Law School New York, N.Y.: Anchor Books, 2004 This book is about a phenomenon—pervasive outside the West yet rarely acknowledged, indeed often viewed as taboo—that turns free market democracy into an engine of ethnic conflagration. The phenomenon I refer to is that of market-dominant minorities: ethnic minorities who, for widely varying reasons, tend under market conditions to dominate economically, often to a startling extent, the “indigenous” majorities around them. Market-dominant minorities can be found in every corner of the world. The Chinese are a market-dominant minority not just in the Philippines but throughout Southeast Asia. In 1998, Chinese Indonesians, only 3 percent of the population, controlled roughly 70 percent of Indonesia’s private economy, including all of the country’s largest conglomerates. More recently, in Burma, entrepreneurial Chinese have literally taken over the economies of Mandalay and Rangoon. Whites are a market- dominant minority in South Africa—and, in a more complicated sense, in Brazil, Ecuador, Guatemala, and much of Latin America. Lebanese are a market-dominant minority in West Africa. Ibo are a market-dominant minority in Nigeria. Croats were a market-dominant minority in the former Yugoslavia. And Jews are almost certainly a market-dominant minority in post-Communist Russia. Market-dominant minorities are the Achilles’ heel of free market democracy. In societies with a market-dominant ethnic minority, markets and democracy favor not just different people, or different classes, but different ethnic groups.

  • The Political Economy of Hatred*
    THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF HATRED* by Edward L. Glaeser October 26, 2004, Third Draft Abstract This paper develops a model of the interaction between the supply of hate-creating stories from politicians and the willingness of voters to listen to hatred. Hatred is fostered with stories of an out-group's crimes, but the impact of these stories comes from repetition not truth. Hate-creating stories are supplied by politicians when such actions help to discredit opponents whose policies benefit an out-group. Egalitarians foment hatred against rich minorities; opponents of redistribution build hatred against poor minorities. Hatred relies on people accepting, rather than investigating, hate-creating stories. Hatred declines when there is private incentive to learn the truth. Increased economic interactions with a minority group may provide that incentive. This framework is used to illuminate the evolution of anti-black hatred in the United States South, episodes of anti-Semitism in Europe, and the recent surge of anti-Americanism in the Arab world. * I am grateful to George Akerlof, Alberto Alesina, William Easterly, Lawrence Katz, David Laibson, Steven Levitt, George Loewenstein, Richard Posner, Jose Scheinkman, Jesse Shapiro and Andrei Shleifer for extremely helpful comments, and to the NSF for financial assistance. Giacomo Porzetto provided excellent research assistance. I am enormously indebted to Paul Romer, whose thinking, only some of which appears in Romer [1996], is the starting point for this paper. Naturally, I alone bear blame for my excesses and errors. I. Introduction From the Thirty Years’ War to the Holocaust to the contemporary wars in Rwanda and the Balkans, much of human misery is due to religious and ethnic conflict.

It includes a thematic discussion on “Hate speech and incitement to hatred against minorities in the media”. Media, in its diverse forms, is an essential component of today’s societies, providing huge benefits and possibilities, including in the field of minority issues. Nevertheless, the Special Rapporteur highlights that media can also be misused as a platform for discrimination, exclusion and the incitement of hostility and violence against particular individuals and groups, through hate speech as well as xenophobic discourse. The Special Rapporteur identifies and analyses factors that influence and perpetuate hate speech in the media. She urges States to adopt legislation prohibiting national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence, in line with article 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and to put in place practical policy and programme measures to prevent hate speech from leading to hate crimes.

    RACISM QUIZ PHOTO: EEVA ANUNDI / EI RASISMILLE! -HANKE EEVA PHOTO: 1. REPLY A Prejudice against people of a different origin Racism is the prejudiced attitude that a person or group of people of an ethnic ori- gin, skin colour, nationality, culture, mother tongue or religious affiliation that is dif- ferent to one’s own is somehow inferior. Racism, therefore, demeans human dignity. Over time, what is meant by the concept of racism has changed and will surely continue to do so in the future. Over recent decades, our understanding of the term ‘racism’ has shifted fundamentally away from ’biological’ racism and towards ‘cultural’ racism. Culture-based racism is a prejudiced attitude that rates people and racially identifies them on the basis of, for example, their culture, language, religion or customs. Racism is often based on an erroneous belief that one’s own group of people is superior or preferable to others. Racism occurs and is confirmed through the everyday actions and practices of people and institutions, in the laws that govern society, in its rules and cultural practices. Racism causes inequality and damages not only the people affected by it but society as a whole. The equal fundamental rights guaranteed by the Finn- ish Constitution and the Non-Discrimination Act prohibit both direct and indirect racism and any other discriminatory behaviour. • Racialization = a way of thinking that separates people into different racial groups. Such categorisation generates and maintains a hierarchy of ethnic groups in society as well as structures and functions that reinforce divisions. 1. QUESTION What is meant by ‘racism’? A Prejudice against people of a different origin B Megalomania, delusions of grandeur C Someone is a recluse D Egomania, exaggerated love of self 2.

PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECTS OF FORMING OF INDIVIDUAL’S POLYCULTURAL COMPETENCE North-Eastern Federal University, Yakutsk, Russia (677000, Yakutsk, 2 Lenin Avenue Abstract. The article is devoted to the formation of pupils’ polycultural competence. We consider the most effective phases, structure, pedagogical conditions of polycultural competence formation based on pedagogical projection. Key words: polycultural education, polycultural competence, pedagogical projection, project and research work, integration, interaction. The idea of polyculturalism began to develop in the beginning of XX century. Since then it has become a fundamental trend of modern cultural and civilizational development. L. Gurlitt, F. Gansberg, G. Sharrelman included in the concept of polyculturalism ethnic and world culture, promoting the development of human consciousness and predicating the idea of a common world. They connected polyculturalism with the freedom of the spiritual development of individuals and peoples: a person may not consciously and deeply possess culture, if he imposed foreign ideas and views, if the development of his natural strength and abilities are not provided. L. Gurlitt argued that foreign influence can never be harmful, if it is imposed not forcibly or from the outside, if it does not suppress or obscured individual characteristics and distinctive spiritual life of the given people [6, 41]. Thus, the basic idea of polyculturalism is reflecting the coexistence of different cultures in the society.

Juliano Matthew David D. Ordoñez Antonio Gabriel M. La Viña Follow this and additional works at: https://archium.ateneo.edu/polsci-faculty-pubs Part of the International Relations Commons Ordońez, Juliano, and La Vińa Dealing with diversity: State strategies on ethnic minority management in Southeast Asia Matthew David D. Ordońez, Hansley A. Juliano, and Enrico Antonio B. La Vińa Abstract—Southeast Asia’s ethnic, political and cultural diversity continues to pose major policy and governance hurdles in enforcing a common community born out of the post-colonial nationalist baggage of almost all the region’s countries. ASEAN’s “non-interference” clause gives leeway to each member state to respond to its ethnic diversity with nation-building projects through exclusionary governance. With this leeway, each Southeast Asian country’s nation-building policies legitimize a particular, existing ethno-nationalist or “ethno-religious” majority at the expense of democratic accountability. This study proposes a preliminary quantitative model which uses regression analysis to compare Southeast Asian countries’ data on their religious and ethnic populations. The initial model categorizes the types of minority management strategies depending on their respective ethnic heterogeneity. This study hypothesizes that a) states with more ethnically homogenous populations will have more exclusionary and violent state policies towards minorities, while b) states with more heterogeneous populations will have fewer exclusionary and violent policies. The results indicate a moderate causality between the two variables and may be correlated with additional variables such as the level of democratic consolidation (as tabulated by the Polity IV democratic index) and the centralized structure of governance.

  • The Root Cause of Instability in the Balkans: Ethnic Hatred Or Trans-Border Crime?
    International Centre for Minority Studies and Intercultural Relations (IMIR) The Root Cause of Instability in the Balkans: Ethnic Hatred or Trans-Border Crime? Marko Hajdinjak 2004 Sofia 1303, 55, Antim I St., tel: (+3592) 8323112; fax: 9310-583; e-mail: [email protected]; http://www.imir-bg.org 1 The Root Cause of Instability in the Balkans: Ethnic Hatred or Trans-Border Crime? Introduction The 1990s were marked by the violent dissolution of Yugoslavia and a number of wars and ethnic conflicts in its successor states. This led countless experts to try to explain how and why did this happen. Three most common theories, which appeared were the theory about "ancient hatreds" between the Yugoslav nations, the theory about the political elites, who destroyed Yugoslavia to grab power in the successor states, and the theory about the total breakdown of socialist regime, which led to the outbreak of hostilities. What all these theories have in common is that they all view nationalism as the driving force behind the conflicts and that they, consequently, describe the conflicts and wars as ethnic conflicts. This paper will argue that the root cause of instability and violence on the territory of former Yugoslavia is neither nationalism nor ethnic hatred, but crime. Specifically, what pushed former Yugoslavia into a succession of bloody wars was the symbiosis between authorities and organized crime during the process of creation of new states, which led to a permanent transformation of state/national interests into private ones, fostering the development of corrupt, non-transparent and crime-permeated societies. Countless episodes and events, documented by numerous authors, researchers and, most importantly, the UN Commission of Experts, which compiled thousands of pages of material about the war, demonstrate that the driving force behind the destruction of Yugoslavia was not nationalism, but greed.

  • The Dark Side of Democracy : Explaining Ethnic Cleansing
    P1: ICD 052183130XAgg.xml CY448B/Mann-II 052183130 X August 2, 2004 11:12 This page intentionally left blank ii P1: ICD 052183130XAgg.xml CY448B/Mann-II 052183130 X August 2, 2004 11:12 The Dark Side of Democracy This book presents a new theory of ethnic cleansing based on the most ter- rible cases – colonial genocides, Armenia, the Nazi Holocaust, Cambodia, Yugoslavia, and Rwanda – and cases of lesser violence – early modern Europe, contemporary India, and Indonesia. Murderous cleansing is modern – it is “the dark side of democracy.” It results where the demos (democracy) is confused with the ethnos (the ethnic group). Danger arises where two rival ethnonational movements each claims “its own” state over the same territory. Conflict esca- lates where either the weaker side fights rather than submit because of aid from outside or the stronger side believes it can deploy sudden, overwhelming force. But the state must also be factionalized and radicalized by external pressures like wars. Premeditation is rare, since perpetrators feel “forced” into escalation when their milder plans are frustrated. Escalation is not simply the work of “evil elites” or “primitive peoples.” It results from complex interactions among leaders, militants, and “core constituencies” of ethnonationalism. Understand- ing this complex process helps us devise policies to avoid ethnic cleansing in the future. Michael Mann is a professor of sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Despite it initially seeming pivotal to New Labour’s reform of policing and the antecedent of a new race equality agenda, it has remained a contested concept that has been critiqued by multiple constituencies.
