Book Synopsis Ethnicity, Nationalism and Conflict in and After the Soviet Union by : Valery Tishkov
Download or read book Ethnicity, Nationalism and Conflict in and After the Soviet Union written by Valery Tishkov and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1997 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valery Tishkov is a well-known Russian historian and anthropologist, and former Minister of Nationalities in Yeltsin's government. This book draws on his inside knowledge of major events and extensive primary research. Tishkov argues that ethnicity has a multifaceted role: it is the most accessible basis for political mobilization; a means of controlling power and resources in a transforming society; and therapy for the great trauma suffered by individuals and groups under previous regimes. This complexity helps explain the contradictory nature and outcomes of public ethnic policies based on a doctrine of ethno-nationalism.

Book Synopsis Ethno-territorial conflict and coexistence in the caucasus, Central Asia and Fereydan by : Babak Rezvani
Download or read book Ethno-territorial conflict and coexistence in the caucasus, Central Asia and Fereydan written by Babak Rezvani and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Few authors have such an intimate knowledge of the background of confliicts in Central Asia. Rezvani looks at the region from a fresh perspective. He arrives at highly relevant recommendations how the politicization of ethnicity can be avoided and how ethnic nationalism in the long run can be turned into civic nationalism." Gerd Junne: Emeritus Professor of International Relations, University of Amsterdam. "It is rare to find such a thorough study about identity/culture and territory/geography in the troubled regions of Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Iran, and it is even more rare to find a comparative analysis. This book is encyclopedic and thought-provoking at the same time." Ton Dietz: Director of African Studies Centre, Leiden University, and Guest Professor of Human Geography, University of Amsterdam. "In contrast to much other research on con ict between ethnic groups, Rezvani has not only focused on the con icts and their origins but also included the set of situations where a con ict could have erupted but failed to occur. This provides a useful correction to stereotypes of conflict-prone regions, particularly in the Caucasus and Central Asia." Gertjan Dijkink: Associate Professor of Political Geography, University of Amsterdam. "Babak Rezvanis well-written and systematic work focuses on ethno-territorial and demographic aspects of conflict, combining theory with case studies and statistical analysis. He not only provides an innovative and interesting contribution to his field of study but also demonstrates a detailed knowledge of the relevant literature. The book is extremely well-sourced and offers a deep and insightful history of the areas and conflicts concerned." Georg Frerks: Professor of Con ict Prevention and Con ict Management, Utrecht University, The Netherlands. Babak Rezvani is a geographer and political scientist.
Book Synopsis Resettling the Borderlands by : Farid Shafiyev
Download or read book Resettling the Borderlands written by Farid Shafiyev and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the arrival of the Russian Empire in the early nineteenth century, the South Caucasus was traditionally contested by two Muslim empires, the Ottomans and the Persians. Over the following two centuries, Orthodox Christian Russia – and later the officially atheist Soviet Union – expanded into the densely populated Muslim towns and villages and began a long process of resettlement, deportation, and interventionist population management in an attempt to incorporate the region into its own lands and culture. Exploring the policies and implementations of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, Resettling the Borderlands investigates the nexus between imperial practices, foreign policy, religion, and ethnic conflicts. Taking a comparative approach, Farid Shafiyev looks at the most active phases of resettlement, when the state imported and relocated waves of German, Russian sectarian, and Armenian settlers into the South Caucasus and deported thousands of others. He also offers insights on the complexities of empire-building and managing space and people in the Muslim borderlands to reveal the impact of demographic changes on the Armenian–Azerbaijani conflict. Combining in-depth and original analysis of archival material with a clear and accessible narrative, Resettling the Borderlands provides a new interpretation of the colonial policies, ideologies, and strategic visions in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.

Book Synopsis Ethnicity, Nationalism and Conflict Resolution by : Rajan Kumar
Download or read book Ethnicity, Nationalism and Conflict Resolution written by Rajan Kumar and published by Hope India Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the various dimensions of the secessionist conflict in Chechnya. It enquires into the theories of ethnicity and nationalism and integrates them with empirical findings. It studies the Chechen crisis in a broader social science framework rather than being just descriptive and narrative. It explains how the Chechen crisis turned into one of the most intractable conflicts of the world today, imperiling the security of Russia and posing a threat to the bordering regions in the Caucasus. The study also explores the methods of conflict resolution. The options of centralism, democratic federalism and partition have been compared and contrasted in the light of prevailing domestic opinion and international circumstances. It presents the model of democratic federalism as the most viable mechanism for the resolution of the conflict in Chechnya.

Book Synopsis Ethnicity and Intra-State Conflict by : Håkan Wiberg
Download or read book Ethnicity and Intra-State Conflict written by Håkan Wiberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1999, this text examines domestic wars, looking at inter-state relations only in as far as they are directly relevant to understand such wars. The book aims to indicate how intra-state war differs from the inter-state war, and focuses primarily on such domestic armed conflicts that at least have significant ethnonational components. The book assesses how heterogeneous a category "ethnic conflict" is in terms of causes and consequences, and gauges the complex interplay between class, regionalism and ethnicity. It is not limited to description and causal analysis, but also attempts to assess suggestions as to what types of actors may contribute in what ways to avoiding ethnonational mobilization/polarization, avoiding militarization of manifest conflicts, and de-escalating militarized conflicts by looking for tenable generalizations on what types of approaches are fruitful in bringing about de-escalation, ceasefires, political compromises, peaceful division or peaceful integration, reconciliation.

Book Synopsis Globalization and Nationalism by : Natalie Sabanadze
Download or read book Globalization and Nationalism written by Natalie Sabanadze and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argues for an original, unorthodox conception about the relationship between globalization and contemporary nationalism. While the prevailing view holds that nationalism and globalization are forces of clashing opposition, Sabanadze establishes that these tend to become allied forces. Acknowledges that nationalism does react against the rising globalization and represents a form of resistance against globalizing influences, but the Basque and Georgian cases prove that globalization and nationalism can be complementary rather than contradictory tendencies. Nationalists have often served as promoters of globalization, seeking out globalizing influences and engaging with global actors out of their very nationalist interests. In the case of both Georgia and the Basque Country, there is little evidence suggesting the existence of strong, politically organized nationalist opposition to globalization. Discusses why, on a broader scale, different forms of nationalism develop differing attitudes towards globalization and engage in different relationships.Conventional wisdom suggests that sub-state nationalism in the post-Cold War era is a product of globalization. Sabanadze?s work encourages a rethinking of this proposition. Through careful analysis of the Georgian and Basque cases, she shows that the principal dynamics have little, if anything, to do with globalization and much to do with the political context and historical framework of these cases. This book is a useful corrective to facile thinking about the relationship between the ?global? and the ?local? in the explanation of civil conflict. Neil MacFarlane, Lester B. Pearson Professor of International Relations and fellow at St. Anne?s College, Oxford University and chair of the Oxford Politics and International Relations Department.
Book Synopsis The Foundations of Ethnic Politics by : Henry E. Hale
Download or read book The Foundations of Ethnic Politics written by Henry E. Hale and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-30 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite implicating ethnicity in everything from civil war to economic failure, researchers seldom consult psychological research when addressing the most basic question: What is ethnicity? The result is a radical scholarly divide generating contradictory recommendations for solving ethnic conflict. Research into how the human brain actually works demands a revision of existing schools of thought. Hale argues ethnic identity is a cognitive uncertainty-reduction device with special capacity to exacerbate, but not cause, collective action problems. This produces a new general theory of ethnic conflict that can improve both understanding and practice. A deep study of separatism in the USSR and CIS demonstrates the theory's potential, mobilizing evidence from elite interviews, three local languages, and mass surveys. The outcome significantly reinterprets nationalism's role in CIS relations and the USSR's breakup, which turns out to have been a far more contingent event than commonly recognized.
