Národnostní skupiny v prostoru bývalého Sovětského svazu / Ethnic groups in the former Soviet Union spaceTkáčová, Kateřina January 2012 (has links)
The topic of this diploma thesis is ethnic groups in the space of the former Soviet Union in the time period 1994-2006 and their involvement in ethnic conflicts. The aim of this thesis is to identify key parameters driving these ethnic groups towards armed conflict as a response to their needs, interests and living conditions. Key assumptions of this thesis are derived from qauntitative as well as qualitative studies. Important characteristics of ethnic groups are also included in the analysis of possible causes of ethnic conflicts. The theoretical discussion shows three main factors which can make ethnic groups more prone to conflict: permanent exclusion, strong identity and lastly dissimilarity of an ethnic group. Influence of these factors is tested using descriptive statistics, odds ratio, correlation and logistic regression. Statistical results shows that strong identity as well as discrimination of ethnic groups increase the probability of ethnic conflicts.

Track I Diplomacy and Civil Society in Cyprus: Reconciliation and Peacebuilding During NegotiationsReed, Elicia Keren 20 March 2013 (has links)
This paper examines the relationship between Track I Diplomacy and Civil Society in Cyprus. Cyprus has been a divided island for over 45 years despite numerous attempts at reconciliation on the societal level and ongoing negotiations on the diplomatic level. It was the aim of this study to examine the ways in which both civil societies and their leaders do or have worked together, if at all, to negotiate a political solution or reconciliation between the two communities. Interviews were conducted on both sides of the cultural divide and within both political and civil society sectors. Those interviews were coded, categorized, and then thematically analyzed. Findings explicate three themes that challenge the relationship and cooperation between Track I and Track II; Structural Elements, Nationalism, and International Support. Furthermore, it is proposed that the leaders must lead and support their citizens in reconciliation and peacebuilding efforts while continuing to negotiate a solution to the Cyprus problem as civil society organizations continue to support negotiation efforts.

Through the Eyes of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots: The Perception of CyprusOlin, Mary N 31 December 2011 (has links)
It is important to consider the effects of past conflicts on the current perceptions of the people of Cyprus and of the future generations. This thesis contends that the ongoing division of Cyprus along with the many unresolved issues regarding past conflicts have had a profound effect on how the people of Cyprus perceive new information in regard to their future. The inquiry will explore the historical background of Cyprus and the affects of nationalism. The need for enemies, large group identity, divided societies and the need for dialogue will also be examined in relation to perception and new information. In light of the interviews and the lived experiences in Cyprus questions arise in regard to how the Cypriots will move forward to a solution that is agreeable to both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots. With each person's perception being influenced by the past conflicts, pain and suffering how will they move forward? How has protracted conflict and nationalism influenced the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot perceptions to new information including a possible solution in Cyprus?

Paul and ethnicity : a socio-historical study of Romans / Misheck Mutua MbeviMbevi, Misheck Mutua January 2013 (has links)
Despite the fact that the majority of scholars agree that Paul’s letter to the Romans was
written to address the Judean-Gentile ethnic divide in Rome, there is still a continued failure
to follow through with the avenues that this position opens up for the study of Romans.
Traditionally, Paul’s letter to the Romans has been read as a theological tractate, a reading
that assumes an ideational or theological interpretation of the letter to the exclusion of Paul’s
ethnic rhetoric present in the letter and how it might have related and even addressed the
tangible relations between real-world Judeans and Gentiles in first century antiquity. This
study investigates just that: how might Paul’s ethnic rhetoric have addressed the Judean-
Gentile ethnic divide in Rome. After the introduction, the study reviews the current state of
scholarship with regard to Paul and ethnicity in Romans. This then is followed by an
elaborate socio-historical exploration of Judean-Gentile ethnicities and relations in ancient
antiquity and the specific Roman context into which Paul’s letter was addressed. The impact
of those relations to the origins of the early Christian movement in Rome and significant
points of coherence between the socio-historical context and Paul’s letter are also
established. Having established the socio-historical context, Paul’s ethnic rhetoric in Romans
1-4 is probed for how it might have addressed the Judean-Gentile ethnic divide and realised
unity among them. / MA (New Testament), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

The Evangelical Church of Central Africa facing socio-ethnic problems: missiological perspectives from the Republic of BurundiHarimenshi, Privat-Biber 06 1900 (has links)
Since independence, Burundi has lost over a million of its inhabitants to ethnic conflict. Political collaboration is divided along ethnic lines and this has destroyed the ethnic solidarity and good social relationships that characterized the pre-colonial period.
Ideally, the mission of the Evangelical Church of Central Africa (ECCA) when faced with Burundi’s tragic and successive socio-ethnic wars should have been to promote peace, social justice, ethnic cohabitation, national reconciliation, respect for human rights, national reconstruction and to denounce all harm and discrimination against the human being.
The ECCA has a sacred mission to announce the gospel to all humanity and to assist the people towards the positive socio-economic and political transformation of Burundi.
This study will be of help to missiological scholars and to the church so that it may better carry out its prophetic mission according to God’s vision and with the purpose of positively transforming Burundian society. / Christian Spritituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)
