Aristotle's Children: How Christians, Muslims, and Jews Rediscovered Ancient Wisdom and Illuminated the Dark Ages

The Astonishing story of revelation and transformation in the middle ages. When Aristotle's lost works were translated and available once again, the medieval world was galvanized, the church and the universities were forever changed and the stage was set for the renaissance.

Practicing Ethnography in Law: New Dialogues, Enduring Methods

Practicing Ethnography in law brings together a selection of top scholars in legal anthropology, social sciences, and law to delineate the state of the art in ethnographic research strategies. Each of these original essays addresses a particular set of analytical problems and uses these problems to explore issues of ethnographic technique, research methodology, and the theoretical underpinnings of ethnographic legal studies. Subjects explored include the relationship between legal and feminist scholarship, between law and the media, law and globalization, and the usefulness of a wide variety of research techniques: comparative, linguistic, life-history, interview, archival.

Combatting Crime in Southeastern Europe:
An Integrated, Coordinated, Multi-Level Approach
(4th Reichenau Workshop of the PfP Consortium Study Group on Regional Stability in South East Europe, "Crushing Crime in South East Europe -- A Struggle of Domestic, Regional, and European Dimensions" Reichenau, Austria, 16-19 May 2003)

This paper advances the argument that any effort to "crush organized crime" in the Balkans must occur within the context of an integrated, coordinated, multi-level framework which locates "organized crime" -- and warlordism and terrorism -- in a comprehensive setting. Such a frame should reflect interdependence and interconnectedness between actors and variables across subregions, regions, and globally.

Virulent Ethnocentrism: A Major Challenge for
Transformational Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding in the Post-Cold War Era
(Published in THE GLOBAL REVIEW OF ETHNOPOLITICS, vol. 1, no. 4, June 2002)

The purpose of this article is to discuss the origins and prospects for reduction of virulent ethnocentrism: a deep and violently aggressive sense of the ‘Other’, resulting from the apparent tendency of people across time and cultural space to subdivide others into ‘them’ and ‘us’ (see LeVine and Campbell, 1972). In the Balkans, this phenomenon has resulted in one world war plus the more recent ‘ethnic cleansing’ of the last ten years of the 20th century
