From Troy to Entebbe
Barbara F. Walter, AM'91, PhD'94
Author
From our pages (Mar-Apr/10): "Analyzing disputes over self-determination'the type of conflict most likely to escalate into civil war'Walter discusses government efforts to appear powerful and unbending in response to secession demands, as well as how minorities respond to those efforts. Investigating laboratory experiments and recent conflicts in Southeast Asia, the book argues that such government posturing seldom leads to successful negotiations between battling parties."
