Description
The main focus of this book is on conflict between those ethnic groups which are not organized as nation-states. The authors identify the fundamental issues in a cross-section of group conflicts and provide a theoretical and conceptual analysis of these controversies. By focusing on ethnic conflict they are able to indicate crucial variables which are relevant to the understanding of superpower or minipower rivalry and violence. International Perspectives on Ethnic Conflict opens with an overview of conflict models and concludes with a summary and comparison of international conflicts with an eye to the political, economic and social solutions which will minimize their occurrence and the possibility of social catastrophe.
