- INT32International/ScienceEthnic conflicts stoked by government intervention, not liberalisationToronto, Sep 30 IANS Eruption of ethnic violence and social evils over the past two decades worldwide has been ascribed to globalisation and liberalisation. But a new study conducted by McGill University researchers has challenged this assumption, suggesting that violence and rebellion are instead the outcome of greater governmental intervention. Conversely, the more economically open a society is, the less likely such violence becomes, said Stephen Saideman of McGill and his former student David Steinberg. "Our study counters the idea that a liberalised economy is worse for ethnic groups. Minorities are more likely to be on the outside of the political system," explained Saideman, associate director of graduate studies in McGill department of political science."So, if the government is involved in the economy, minorities are more likely to be affected by the whims of the state than by the whims of the market."Utilising their own original research, along with the 'Minorities at Risk' dataset compiled by University of Maryland colleagues, Steinberg and Saideman showed how government intervention leads to a spiral of political competition among groups to gain control and the economic spoils it distributes."Thus groups on the outs feel threatened because they have no control, which can lead to open rebellion," Saideman said, "while those who are in power become terrified of losing control, as occurred in Serbia. Before the war the Serbs controlled a large chunk of the Yugoslav political system and it was their fear of losing it that led to war." Moreover, the researchers said, their results were reasonably consistent in virtually every society they studied, regardless of political system, according to a McGill University release."We're not just talking about command economies like the old Soviet Union or Yugoslavia," he said. "We control for regime type, so whether a country is a democracy or not, statistically and probabilistically, the more government involvement there is in the economy, the more likely ethnic conflict is.""Ironically, look at how the US government is now in the process of buying up a large hunk of the economy to bail out Wall Street," he said. "In the future, this will give people who are denied loans or who have other economic grievances an incentive to blame the government." The study was published in the current issue of International Studies Quarterly. --Indo-Asian News Servicest/dg421 Words30091258

- <p><font size="2"><strong>By OUR CORRESPONDENT<p>Mumbai<p>Aug. 5: &quot;Footballers today don’t have the sincerity towards the game that we used to have in our days. Today’s generation doesn’t mind faking an injury and they are not even ready to play the game with full effort. They are more worried about the money than the game,&quot; said two-time Olympian S.S. Narayan, India’s goalkeeper at the 1956 Melbourne Games.<p>Starting his professional career in 1955 and playing with late Neville D’Souza, who scored a hat-trick during the Melbourne Games, Narayan was selected to the national side after an year on the professional circuit.<p>&quot;I played for the Khalsa College team initially, and began my surge from there. Being selected in the Olympic side at the age of 22 remains the biggest high of my career,&quot; said the veteran.<p>Asked how he felt playing two consecutive Olympic Games in 1956 and 1969, he said, &quot;The first time I played in the Games, we missed the bronze medal by a whisker. But in the second Olympics we were in a tough league with Hungary, France, Peru in our group. We lost after putting up a good show against Hungary, who later qualified from the group.<p>&quot;We lost to Yugoslavia in the 1956 Games semifinal, even after being a goal up in the first half. I remember how Neville D’Souza beat two defenders and deceived the rushing custodian before lobbing the ball goalwards, only to see it bounce onto the horizontal bar and out of play,&quot; he recalled.<p>India subsequently lost to Bulgaria and had to be satisfied with the fourth position. &quot;But little did we know then that after so many years the standard of football in India will deteriorate so badly. The Melbourne Games 1956 remain our best performance in Olympic football history till date.&quot;<p>Â
