The case of the erased residents of Slovenia – when approximately 18,000 people who were mostly of Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian
ethnicity, were erased from the permanent residence registry of the Republic of Slovenia – represents one of the most severe
cases of administrative ethnic/racial discrimination and human rights violations in the post-communist East and Central Europe
outside the conflict area. The erasure caused “civil death” of the people who were affected by the measure, depriving them
of civil, political, social, and economic rights. In 2007, 4 years after the 2003 Constitutional Court decision, declaring
the 1992 erasure an unconstitutional act of the state and requiring the legislator to adopt measures to reinstate the statuses
of the erased people, the problem remains unsolved and unaddressed both systemically and individually, and the situation of
erasure persists. This article presents the case and analyses of the framework that made the erasure possible in terms of
the preparation of the majority of Slovenes to accept and even support the violations and politicians to renounce their political
responsibility to those who have lost the right to have rights.
This article is based on the insights of the research project Contemporary Citizenship: Politics of Inclusion and Exclusion (2000–2003) led by Vlasta Jalušič. The analysis of the case of erased was published in Jasminka Dedić, Vlasta Jalušič, and
Jelka Zorn (eds.), The Erased: Organized Innocence and the Politics of Exclusion, translated from Slovenian by Olga Vuković and Marjana Karer (Ljubljana: Peace Institute, 2003), at . The authors wish to thank the anonymous reviewer for the extensive and most helpful comments.

Getting to peace is not a straightforward process. In Uganda, internal conflict has raged for more than 20 years between the
Government and the Lord’s Resistance Army. The construction of a comprehensive negotiated settlement is at the mercy of conflicting
ideologies and influences at the international, national and grassroots levels. This paper examines the Juba peace talks,
the major actors in the negotiation process, and tension between prosecution and amnesty.

The case of the opposition to legalizing same-sex marriage in Canada is an example of the limits of what will and will not
be tolerated in the name of multiculturalism. This case offers an interesting perspective on the topic of multiculturalism,
because it deals with a conflict between those seeking to expand human rights and those seeking to prevent such expansion
because of their adherence to a particular set of cultural and religious beliefs. Despite Canada’s commitment to recognizing
and encouraging diversity within its population, the demands of the opponents of same-sex marriage were not accommodated.
Heeding the opponents of same-sex marriage would have amounted to violating the deeper commitment to individual rights and
human rights as interpreted by the Charter. Multiculturalism in Canada is a concept that is situated within an underlying
adherence to these core values.

In policy analysis, studies on policy termination are rare. This article offers such a study. It presents the story of how,
despite attempts by the government to terminate it, Dutch nature policy on ecological corridors continued to be implemented
by regional governments and in the field. A case analysis is presented that integrates theories and insights not only from
the termination literature but also from the literature on implementation. The different factors identified in the literature
that enable or constrain implementation and termination have served as a basis for developing possible explanations of the
case study. They cannot, however, serve as generic theories with predictive power. Policy termination as well as policy implementation
are highly contextual processes and the question which factors will enable or constrain policy termination and implementation
can only be answered on a case by case basis.

The Colombian military and the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC) have committed systematic attacks against the
Colombian people that violate international law. One such heinous incident took place in May 2003 at the Betoyes Guahibo indigenous
reserve in Colombia. Unlike other acts of terror, the attack at the Reserve is well documented. Because of this, the attack
on the Reserve is an excellent case for International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecution. This article exposes acts of cruelty
and makes a persuasive moral case for ICC prosecution. The ICC has jurisdiction over the attack on the Betoyes people by the
AUC and Colombian military. The article further discusses the potential legal exposure of the Colombian government, individual
Colombians and US individuals through its military support and training of the Colombian military.

Non-marital cohabitation has become widespread in modern, Western nations. It has led to dramatic declines in marriage rates
and contributed to high levels of unwed births and lone-parent families, thus negatively affecting child wellbeing.

This paper draws on an original survey and on the 2004 NES to explore the complexity of contemporary American conservatism.
In both datasets, we find evidence that economic and cultural conservatism stand as distinct strands of conservative attitudes.
The original survey also allows us to further explore the role of beliefs about the market in economic conservatism. In the
end, we find little support for either liberal hopes of fundamental ideological conflict among conservatives or conservative
hopes of ideological fusion. Instead, our data suggests that a particular type of ideological coexistence among economic and
cultural conservatives is the norm.

Whatever else the 2008 presidential election may result in, we can be sure that it will only contribute further to the steadily
declining role of political parties in American politics, and the myriad negative consequences arising from that decline.

In this study I adopt a view of cultural conflict that extends beyond the usual set of controversial “moral” issues like abortion
and gay rights to include symbolic issues related to patriotism and group affect. Using a set of survey items asking about
respondents’ preferences in child-rearing, I create a measure of individuals’ orientations toward authority that proves to
be a potent predictor of attitudes on cultural issues, affect toward social groups, party identification, and vote choice.
This authority effect persists even in the presence of extensive multivariate controls for demographic and religious variables.
I find that both authority measures and religion measures shape political attitudes, suggesting the need for a multi-faceted approach to understanding cultural conflict.

The emotions surrounding the question of Kosovo’s future owe their intensity to the long history of human rights abuses in
the province. The years 1945–1966 and 1987–1999, in particular, saw harsh repression of local Albanians and a systematic favoring
of local Serbs. Since June 1999, the province has been under international supervision, and, in this period, Serbs complain
that they have been the victims of repeated acts of violence at the hands of Albanians. This article provides an overview
of human rights abuses since 1945 and closes with a brief assessment of the international plan presented by UN mediator Martti
Ahtisaari in February 2007.

In the 1940s, leading public intellectuals established a commission to reform the American press. Many of them initially favored
heavy regulation of newspapers and other media. Though the men failed to change the press, their report lives on in schools
of journalism.

Serious gender-based crimes were committed against women and girls during Sierra Leone’s decade-long armed conflict. This
article examines how the Special Court for Sierra Leone has approached these crimes in its first four judgments. The June
20, 2007 trial judgment in the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council case assists international criminal law’s limited understanding
of the crime against humanity of forced marriage, but also collapses evidence of that crime into the war crime of outrages
upon personal dignity. The February 22, 2008 appeals judgment attempts to correct this misstep. In contrast, the August 2,
2007 trial judgment in the Civil Defence Forces case is virtually silent on crimes committed against women and girls, although
the May 28, 2008 appeals judgment attempts to partially redress this silence. This article concludes that the four judgments,
considered together, raise the specter that the Special Court could potentially fail to make a significant progressive contribution
to gender-sensitive transitional justice.

In the 1970s, social psychologists conducted numerous studies analyzing physical appearance as a social variable. More recent
studies in the social sciences appear to have abandoned this topic as unimportant; in any case, very few social scientific
studies have been found that incorporate a measure of attractiveness into their analyses. The present study seeks to revive
the emphasis on physical attractiveness as a social variable by testing the relationship between crime severity and physical
attractiveness, i.e., by presenting evidence to suggest that physically unattractive men commit more serious offenses.

Critics of the concept fail to note that staged authenticity is not authenticity but its opposite or negation. This error is illustrated referencing Ed Bruner’s reading of The Tourist in his recent book Culture on Tour.

Karl Popper’s equation of the closed society with tribalism is reviewed and modified. The German origins of the anthropological
concept of culture and its related ideas of the folk culture and cultural relativism are explored. The vicissitudes of the
idea of The Folk and its swing from Right to Left are related to contemporary neo-primitivism. The open society and high culture
are defended.

The situations of nineteenth century dock workers and today’s immigrant day laborers bear striking similarities and challenges,
especially for those seeking to organize them into labor unions. The obstacles confronting such organizing efforts also underscore
the legitimate concerns many Americans have about the threats to social order posed by immigrants today.
