 re co-hosting a talk on ethnic polarization and power sharing by Donald L. 
 Horowitz\, Professor of Law and Political Science Emeritus at Duke Universi

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p><strong>Please RSVP.</strong></p><p>This p
 resentation concerns remedies that have been recommended for polities with 
 severe ethnic divisions. The lecture will first depict the characteristics 
 of severely divided societies and the problems for democracy posed by ethni
 c polarization. It will then describe the principal academic prescriptions 
 for these problems\, before turning to an enigma: the paucity of countries 
 that have actually adopted the institutions commonly recommended to cabin s
 erious ethnic conflict. Adoptions are relatively few\, and when they occur 
 are not generally durable. The inability to adopt durable institutions of e
 thnic power sharing is a major unsolved problem of democratization. Althoug
 h this problem is present in several regions of the world\, special attenti
 on will be devoted to its manifestations in Asia.</p><p><strong>Bio: </stro
