This book explains how state institutions affect ethnic
mobilization. It focuses on how ethno-nationalist movements emerge
on the political arena, develop organizational structures, frame
demands, and attract followers. It does so in the context of
examining the widespread surge of nationalist sentiment that
occurred through the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in the late
1980s and early 1990s. It shows that even during this period of
institutional upheaval, pre-existing ethnic institutions affected
the tactics of the movement leaders. It challenges the widely held
perception that governing elites can kindle latent ethnic
grievances virtually at will to maintain power. It argues that
nationalist leaders can't always mobilize widespread popular
support and that their success in doing so depends on the extent to
which ethnicity is institutionalized by state structures. It shifts
the study of ethnic mobilization from the whys of its emergence to
the hows of its development as a political force.
