   The Eileen and John Marrett Memorial Endowment
   Seminar on Terrorism and Political Violence
   
                      The topic for the October 1996 seminar series is
                      The Politics of "Ethnic Cleansing". In recent
                      years, the use of violence and genocide as an
                      instrument to reshape the ethnic and demographic
                      character of disputed territories has received
                      increasing global attention. In Rwanda, Bosnia, and
                      elsewhere, such violence has created massive human
                      tragedy, manifest in death, injury, massive refugee
                      flows, and bitter legacies of continuing hatred.
                      However, while the international community has
                      expressed its abhorrence at such events, it is much
                      less clear how such tragedies can be prevented, and
                      the underlying conflicts resolved.
