In the current environment, most political violence occurs between
internal communities, such as ethnic and religious groups, rather
than between states. Such inter-communal conflict threatens both
internal political stability and interstate relations. In this
edited volume, a multidisciplinary and multinational group of
scholars analyze the bases of inter-communal conflict and its
domestic and international consequences. The authors focus on
inter-communal conflict through the lenses of political struggles
in the Middle East and Asia, which provide fertile grounds for
assessing the viability of new social constructions and the
continuing impact of ancestral ties. Containing theoretical,
regional, and country studies, the chapters tackle such issues as:
the implications of changes in the institutional rules for
political competition; how explanatory narratives for conflict are
selected when multiple attributions are possible; the bases of
ideological conflict that have arisen within Islam; the problems of
ethnic competition that remain unresolved in powersharing
arrangements; the consequences for international relations when
national boundaries do not circumscribe ethnic and religious
communities; and the subordination of women's interests to
religious conflict and its resolution. Since identities are shaped
by multiple qualities, the contributions examine the role of
ideologies, institutions, and politicians in shaping political
cleavages, communities, and conflicts. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
