Understanding Ethnic Conflict

Ethnic Conflict surveys theories of nationalism and ethnic conflict and describes how international actors both manage and exacerbate ethnic and sectarian divisions in a country. Discussing issues of international norms, security, and intervention, this text presents a model of ethnic conflict's internationalization and apply it to five original case studies. The innovative combination of theory and case study allows students to understand this global issue through in-depth examples and to critically examine ethnic conflict in the post-Cold War era.Taras, Raymond C. is the author of 'Understanding Ethnic Conflict ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780205586004 and ISBN 0205586007.
