Description:

This event is postponed.

When is it disadvantageous for members of a local elite to participate in a state-sponsored genocide? How do states react when towns or regions disregard national orders to ethnically cleanse certain segments of the population? This seminar explores these questions by examining how the city of Sarajevo interpreted and implemented a state agenda of ethnically cleansing Serbs during the Second World War.

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.

Worst of the Worst: Dealing with Repressive and Rogue Nations

"This volume makes an unparalleled contribution to the growing and vital field of measurement and human rights. [The book] offers a useful categorization and assessment of repressive and 'rogue' states, allowing us to measure the extenet of repressive state behavior more accurately. His [Rotberg] work should embolden external critiques and facilitate more transparent and accountable foreign policy."

--Sarah Sewall, Director, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard University
