Ethnic Violence
Ongoing local conflicts between ethnic and cultural groups claim many thousands of lives every year. In order to assist policy makers in preventing these conflicts, NECSI has created a mathematical model that can predict where ethnic and cultural violence is likely to occur. Unlike many existent approaches, NECSI's model focuses on the spatial distribution of populations.
