Book Synopsis Ethnic Conflict and International Security by : Michael E. Brown
Download or read book Ethnic Conflict and International Security written by Michael E. Brown and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Cold War, most international relations theorists and strategic studies analysts paid little attention to ethnic and other forms of communal conflict. Disregard for the importance of ethnic and nationality issues in world affairs, always misguided so far as the developing world was concerned, has been overtaken, in stunning fashion, by recent events from Abkhazia to Zaire. The essays in this volume advance our understanding of the causes of ethnic and communal conflict, the regional and international implications of such conflicts, and what the international community can do to minimize the potential for instability and violence. Drawn from recent issues of Survival, they are organized along thematic rather than regional lines, and will be required reading for scholars, students, and policymakers alike. The contributors to the volume include Michael Brown on the causes and implications of ethnic conflict, Anthony Smith on the ethnic sources of nationalism, David Welsh on domestic politics and ethnic conflict, Renée de Nevers on democratization and ethnic conflict, and Pierre Hassner on nationalism and internationalism. Jack Snyder writes on nationalism and the crisis of the post-Soviet state, Barry Posen on the security dilemma and ethnic conflict, Kathleen Newland on ethnic conflict and refugees, Jenonne Walker on international mediation of ethnic conflicts, and Robert Cooper and Mats Berdal on outside intervention in ethnic conflicts, Adam Roberts discusses the U.N. and international security, and John Chipman explores managing the politics of parochialism.
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 Routledge Handbook of Ethnic Conflict by :
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Ethnic Conflict written by and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive global survey of the interaction of race, ethnicity, nationalism and politics, this handbook blends theoretically grounded, rigorous analysis with empirical illustrations, to provide a state-of-the art overview of the contemporary debates on one of the most pervasive international security challenges today. The contributors to this volume offer a 360-degree perspective on ethnic conflict: from the theoretical foundations of nationalism and ethnicity, to the causes and consequences of ethnic conflict, and to the various strategies adopted in response to it. Without privileging any specific explanation of why ethnic conflict happens at a specific place and time or why attempts at preventing or settling it might fail or succeed, the Routledge Handbook of Ethnic Conflict enables readers to gain better insights into such defining moments in post-Cold War international history as the disintegrations of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia and their respective consequences and the genocide in Rwanda, as well as the relative success of conflict settlement efforts in Northern Ireland, Macedonia, and Aceh. By contributing to understanding the varied and multiple causes of ethnic conflicts and to learning from the successes and failures of its prevention and settlement, the Handbook makes a powerful case that ethnic conflicts are neither unavoidable nor unresolvable, but rather that they require careful analysis and thoughtful and measured responses.

Book Synopsis Ethnic Conflict by : William A. Stofft

Book excerpt: Ethnic conflict is an elemental force in international politics and a major threat to regional security and stability. Ethnicity as a source of conflict has deep historic roots. Many such conflicts lay dormant, suppressed by the Soviet empire or overshadowed by the ideological competition of the cold war. Both protagonists in the cold war demonstrated unwarranted optimism about their ability to defuse ethnicity and ethnic conflict. Marxists believed that ethnicity would give way to "proletarian internationalism." Social class and economic welfare would determine both self-identity and loyalty to political institutions that would transcend ethnic identification or religious affiliation. Western democracies assumed that "nation building" and economic development were not only vital components in the strategy to contain communist expansion, but that capitalism, economic prosperity, and liberal democratic values would also create free societies with a level of political development measured by loyalty to the state rather than to the narrower ethnic group. Instead, the goals of assimilation and integration within the larger context of economic and political development are being replaced by violent ethnic corrections to artificially imposed state boundaries. The Balkan and Transcaucasian conflicts, for example, are ancient in origin and have as their object the territorial displacement of entire ethnic groups. Such conflicts by their nature defy efforts at mediation from outside, since they are fed by passions that do not yield to "rational" political compromise. They are, as John Keegan describes in his most recent study of war, "apolitical" to a degree for which Western strategists have made little allowance.1 The demise of European communism and the Russian empire has unleashed this century's third wave of ethnic nationalism and conflict. The first came in the wake of the collapsing Ottoman, Russian, and Austro-Hungarian empires which came to a climax after World War I; the second followed the end of European colonialism after World War II.

Most recent wars have been complex and bloody internal conflicts driven to a significant degree by nationalism and ethnic animosity. Since the end of the Cold War, dozens of wars—in Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda, Somalia, the former Soviet Union, and elsewhere—have killed or displaced millions of people. Understanding and controlling these wars has become one of the most important and frustrating tasks for scholars and political leaders.This revised and expanded edition of Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict contains essays from some of the world's leading analysts of nationalism, ethnic conflict, and internal war. The essays from the first edition have been updated and supplemented by analyses of recent conflicts and new research on the resolution of ethnic and civil wars. The first part of the book addresses the roots of nationalistic and ethnic wars, focusing in particular on the former Yugoslavia. The second part assesses options for international action, including the use of force and the deployment of peacekeeping troops. The third part examines political challenges that often complicate attempts to prevent or end internal conflicts, including refugee flows and the special difficulties of resolving civil wars.

This book was released on 1997-02-10 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text reconsiders established interpretations of ethnic factors in the former Soviet Union and in contemporary Russia, arguing that: ethnicity is a complex phenomenon playing a multi-faceted role; ethnicity is the most accessible and understandable basis for political mobilization; ethnicity is a means of access to power and resources in a transforming society; and ethnicity is a therapy for the great trauma suffered by nationalities under previous regimes. executed by dominant groups like the Russians, and its periphery (or defensive) forms, subscribed to mainly by ethnic minorities with diminished status. Both have common features and are prone to conflicts which constitute a major obstacle to civic nation-building and democratic reform. ethnic tensions and conflict. Grassroots ethnic attitudes and cultural interactions - which often contradict intellectual and political statements and claims, are measured. The book reveals the crucial role of well-educated elites in post-Soviet society and the high vulnerability to irresponsible manipulation of a poorly modernized populace. The contradictory nature and outcomes of public ethnic policies based on a doctrine of ethno-nationalism are analyzed. The conclusion reached is that Soviet and post-Soviet nations, as well as the violent ethno-politics, are rooted in the disparities and malfunctioning of the Soviet regime, and in the deliberate efforts to build a state on ethnic principles and encourage ethnic institutions and exclusive identities. multi-ethnic countries, Professor Tishkov suggests a strategy and mechanisms for governing conflicting ethnicity in complex societies. He seeks political structures and a public climate allowing the preservation of a cultural mosaic and group integrity within a policy of cultural pluralism, civil rights and individual freedom.
Book Synopsis Understanding Ethnic Conflict by : Ray Taras
Download or read book Understanding Ethnic Conflict written by Ray Taras and published by Longman Publishing Group. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The completely updated new edition of this groundbreaking text provides students with a clear analytical framework for understanding ethnic conflicts and how they affect international relations. This text surveys theories of nationalism and ethnic conflict and tests their applicability to a number of contemporary cases: the more confident nationalism of Putin's Russia, the intensification of ethnic war in Sri Lanka, and the struggle to change the face of nationalism in the former Yugoslavia, to name just a few. After a look at the sources of nationalist conflict in a country, each case study then asks how the international system reacted. Taken as a whole, the book examines how successful the international system has been in managing the many ethnic conflicts that erupted after the Cold War. The conclusion of the new edition focuses on the dilemma facing U.S. foreign policy makers as the Bush administration begins: whether and where to intervene to combat ultra-nationalism and promote liberal internationalism.

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.
