| Abstract
|
:
|
"Over the past decade, ethnic conflicts have destabilized entire regions, devastated economics development, uprooted communities, and wreaked unimaginable human suffering." "Stefan Wolff looks beyond the surface of the immediate crises to understand the nature of ethnic conflict more generally, highlighting the structural similarities and accounting for the differences among a wide range of cases, including the Middle East, Kosovo, Sudan, and Sri Lanka, and offering fresh insights on these and other violent conflicts."

"Drawing on his experience and efforts to study and resolve ethnic conflicts world-wide, Wolff provides an introduction to the origins, dynamics, and management of these disputes. In doing so, he helps explain the fundamental question underlying all ethnic conflict: why do nationalism and ethnicity have such terrible power to turn neighbour against neighbour? And, more importantly, what can the world do about it?"--Jacket.
