When considering strategies to address violent conflict, scholars
and policymakers debate the wisdom of recognizing versus avoiding
reference to ethnic identities in government institutions. In
Diversity, Violence, and Recognition, Elisabeth King and Cyrus
Samii examine the reasons that governments choose to recognize
ethnic identities and the consequences of such choices for peace.
The authors introduce a theory on the merits and risks of
recognizing ethnic groups in state institutions, pointing to the
crucial role of ethnic demographics. Through a global quantitative
analysis and in-depth case studies of Burundi, Rwanda, and
Ethiopia, they find promise in recognition. Countries that adopt
recognition go on to experience less violence, more economic
vitality, and more democratic politics, but these effects depend on
which ethnic group is in power. King and Samii's findings are
important for scholars studying peace, democracy, and development,
and practically relevant to policymakers attempting to make these
concepts a reality.
