Title: 'Demographic engineering': the state-directed movement of ethnic groups as a technique of conflict regulation
Author: McGarry, John
Appeared in: Ethnic and racial studies
Paging: Volume 21 (1998) nr. 4 pages 613-638
Year: 1998-07-01
Contents: In this article I examine the state-directed movement of ethnic groups. Such movements include the settlement of majority groups in peripheral regions inhabited by minorities, the relocation of minority groups within the state, and the expulsion of minorities from the state. An important theme of the article is that, while such policies have been implemented for centuries, modern state-directed movements are closely linked to the growth of nationalism. The study seeks to answer three important questions: (1) Why do states move ethnic groups? (2) How do states move ethnic groups? (3) Under what circumstances will states engage in such policies?
