About This Item
Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1998. Paperback octavo, very good condition, figures, minor edgewear. 392 pp. The wave of ethnic conflict that has swept across Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Africa, has led to fear that these conflicts are contagious. Initial outbreaks in such places as Bosnia, Chechnya and Rwanda, if not contained, appear capable of setting off epidemics of catastrophic proportions. The editors, David Lake and Donald Rothchild, have organized an ambitious, sophisticated exploration of the origins and spread of ethnic conflict - useful to policymakers and theorists alike. Ethnic conflict is not caused directly by intergroup differences or centuries-old feuds. The collapse of the Soviet Union did not simply uncork ethnic passions long suppressed. They look instead at how anxieties over security, competition for resources, breakdown in communication with the government, and the inability to make enduring commitments lead ethnic groups into conflict. Considers the strategic interactions that underlie ethnic conflict and its effective management.
