INFORMATION TO USERS This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6" x 9" black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.

Ann Arbor, MI 48106 A MULTIVARIATE MODEL OF ETHNIC DIVERSITY AND VIOLENT POLITICAL BEHAVIOR DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Cheng-Feng Shih, B.S., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 1991 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Chadwick F. Alger, Ph.D. Saad Z. Nagi, Ph.D. Adviser Goldie A. Shabad, Ph.D. Department of Political Science ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am deeply indebted to three teacher who have guided me at different stages of this study. I am grateful to Dr. Nagi for his reading the manuscript and offering methodological comments. I also extend my sincere appreciation to Dr. Shabad for her patient teaching and suggestions on theoretical issues. I am most deeply indebted to Dr. Alger, my adviser, who has encouraged and guided me during study at the Ohio State University. I still have a vivid image of the first day we met in the department reception, where he challenged: "What if Texas wants to get independence?" My strong commitment to the idea of self-determination led me to answer spontaneously: "Why not!" He has become my mentor since then. I can never appreciate him enough for his insights and stimulating suggestions spanning the content in all of the dissertation chapters. I like to thank my parents for their love and support. To my wife Pei-Ing, I like to say without your encouragement and confidence in me, my study in the graduate school in this country would have not been possible. ii VITA February 24, 1958 ..
