Cities have long been associated with diversity and tolerance,
but from Jerusalem to Belfast to the Basque Country, many of the
most intractable conflicts of the past century have played out in
urban spaces. The contributors to this interdisciplinary volume
examine the interrelationships of ethnic, racial, religious, or
other identity conflicts and larger battles over sovereignty and
governance. Under what conditions do identity conflicts undermine
the legitimacy and power of nation-states, empires, or urban
authorities? Does the urban built environment play a role in
remedying or exacerbating such conflicts? Employing comparative
analysis, these case studies from the Middle East, Europe, and
South and Southeast Asia advance our understanding of the origins
and nature of urban conflict.
