Author Description

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.
