<p>Hi George,<br /><br />I attached the paper with minor addition/changes. I put my additions/notes in parentheses.&nbsp;And I apologize for not clarifying that in my first draft.</p>
<p>Here is a few notes:</p>
<p>&nbsp;I intentionally wanted to include certain words in this paper such as ( contentious politics, process tracing, empirics/empirical, testing, generalization, predicting, inferring) as believe it or not these are the words the prof. looks for and it is what teh agenda is all about. So if you could still insert those magic words I would appreciate that.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. I made a mistake in the paper that Wilkinson's argument is that ethnic violence is not rooted in the govt. competition. I meant to write it is actually a result of competition in the govt.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. Varshney introduces a new variable which is civic inter-intra ethnic relations. I am not sure if this makes Smith etal in disagreement with Varshney's...So I went ahead and put agreement...you may find a suitable word that would not held me responsible for this conclusion .</p>
<p>3. Smith etal is about Anti-Chinese ethnic riots in Indonesia here is their abstract&nbsp;</p>
<p>Summary. &mdash; In this essay we ask why anti-Chinese riots took place in some Indonesian cities but not in others during the upheaval of May 1998. Employing process-tracing within a sub-national comparison of four cities, we argue that anti-Chinese riots in May 1998 were a frame-shifting strategy employed by security forces to distract public attention from their failure to control anti-government student demonstrations. Anti-Chinese rioting took place only where the local government and the security forces failed to limit the repertoires and spatial reach of protests used by prior student demonstrators.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;4. I added the example of Iraq party system and the government competition and interest to incite the ethnic violence.&nbsp;</p>
<p>That's all and I apologize for the inconvenience!</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Maya&nbsp;</p>
