democratizations
SOCIAL EXCLUSION
process in which individuals are blocked from
(or denied full access to) various rights,
opportunities and resources that are normally
available to members of a different group
housing, employment, healthcare, civic
engagement, democratic participation, and due
process
APARTHEID
policy that governed relations between South
Africa’s white minority and nonwhite majority and
sanctioned racial segregation and political and
economic discrimination against nonwhites.
Other laws forbade most social contacts between
the races, authorized segregated public facilities,
established separate educational standards,
restricted each race to certain types of jobs,
curtailed nonwhite labour unions, and denied
nonwhite participation (through white
representatives) in the national government.
ETHNIC CLEANSING
the attempt to get rid of (through deportation,
displacement or even mass killing) members of an
unwanted ethnic group in order to establish an
ethnically homogenous geographic area
Turkish massacre of Armenians during World War
I; the Nazis’ annihilation of some 6 million
European Jews in the Holocaust; and the forced
displacement and mass killings carried out in the
former Yugoslavia and the African country of
Rwanda during the 1990s.
GENOCIDE
violence against members of a national, ethnic,
racial or religious group with the intent to destroy
the entire group.
Genocide’s “intent to destroy” separates it from
other crimes of humanity such as ethnic cleansing,
which aims at forcibly expelling a group from a
geographic area (by killing, forced deportation
and other methods).
