An Introduction to the 12/7/01 Session of NAS-RAS Meeting on "Conflicts in Multiethnic Societies"
От редакции. Публикуемое ниже на английском языке выступление одного из крупнейших американских историков, профессора университета Сан-Диего в Калифорнии Роберта Адамса, в течение многих лет возглавлявшего авторитетный научный центр США - Смитсоновский институт, было сделано в ходе проходившей в Вашингтоне 5-7 декабря 2001 г. встречи ученых, участвующих в совместном проекте Российской академии наук и Национальной академии США по сравнительному изучению этнических проблем и конфликтов в многоэтничных государствах.

It leads him to the further proposition that "violence can be better understood if viewed as a function of values and norms existing in the given society". While there is obviously much validity in this statement, and while it constitutes a virtually unanimous working assumption in our proceedings thus far, I want to remind you that it is also our responsibility as social scientists not to lose sight of still wider horizons that are a part of the ide ...
