Week 2: how do states respond to ethnic diversity?9/18/2012 2:30:00 pm: difference elimination strategies, difference management strategies. Special cases: canada, hungary, romania, cyprus, sri lanka, bosnia etc: strong degree of antagonism divided societies based on ethnic diversity. Ireland divided on religion resulting in violence. Genocide: response to diversity is to get rid of them by killing in whole or apart, e. g. Wwi turkish genocide against armenians (crime in turkey to say there was a genocide); wwii holocaust; rwanda 1994; bosnia. Ethnic expulsions: sometimes happens in isolation from genocide, sometimes together, states that intentionally decide to expel (kick out) a population, e. g. Turkey trying to expel greeks; cyprus 1974 turkey partitioned the island; bosnia perpetrated by the serbs and the. E. g. the british empire seems to be responsible for many partitions; british partitioned india and pakistan; 1948 partitioned palestine along ethnic religious lines. Aim is to divide into homogeneous entities, but rarely works because they rarely are homogenous anyways (india)
