Métissage Et Fables De La Reconstruction Dans Les Textes Sur Le Génocide Rwandais, Marie-Chantal Kalisa

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Presentations

Le génocide des Tutsis au Rwanda a été exécuté dans le contexte de l’idéologie « génocidaire » mise en place par les gouvernements postcoloniaux qui se sont succédé depuis l’indépendance. Cette idéologie incitait à la haine et à l’extermination d’un groupe entier, les Tutsis, le mot d’ordre de la politique étant de maintenir une nette opposition entre deux identités prétendument ethniques. L’écriture de la période post-génocidaire cherche certes à dénoncer cette idéologie destructrice, mais au-delà de cette analyse du « piège ethnique », elle montre en divers endroits, de la part de l’écrivain, un certain désir, de dépasser ce moment …

Editor’S Reflections: Peacemaking Among Helping Parties, Honggang Yang

Peace and Conflict Studies

Excerpt

I would like to take this opportunity to initiate a dialogue over some issues of conflict management among ourselves as third parties or helping professionals. The challenges of managing interpersonal conflicts or performing internal peacemaking are as real and relevant as the challenges of our professional undertaking in handling “outside” disputes. While recognizing there are no ready formulae to address these challenges, I invite you to join in the open-minded dialogues to examine expectations and premises often assumed among helping professionals in the fields.

The Prospect Of Multi-Level Voting In Post-Peace Accord Northern Ireland, Roger Mac Ginty

Peace and Conflict Studies

This article reviews the possibility of multi-level voting in Northern Ireland in the wake of the 1998 peace accord. Post-peace accord elections can act as powerful indicators of the fate of a peace. Using Reif and Schmitt’s framework of second-order elections, it finds some evidence of varying electoral behaviour according to the electoral arena. The article also uses original data from a major opinion survey to assess public attitudes towards the suite of governing institutions with powers in or over a devolved Northern Ireland. The evidence of multi-level voting is limited and does not extend to electors abandoning ethnic voting …

Throughout the world, community arts-based processes have become an essential component of peacebuilding work in societies experiencing severe conflicts.

In this research project, the author spent fourteen months in Bosnia-Herzegovina researching the use of community arts-based peacebuilding efforts both during the war and in the post-conflict stage.

Policy-Making And Connections To Violence: A Case Study Of India, Marie Olson Lounsbery, Frederic S. Pearson

Peace and Conflict Studies

This paper explores the role of identity-based, or discriminatory, policy in facilitating the outbreak of ethnopolitical violence in India. A discriminatory policy is the merging of communal group identity with the state apparatus. It is argued that as the Indian government enacts policies beneficial or discriminatory to particular identity groups within the country, other groups feel threatened. Groups who feel disadvantaged by the policy may begin to fear for their own security and political interests motivating them to rebel. When focusing on Indian policy and ethnopolitical violence during the period 1945 to 2000, the authors find that, although there are …
