Using a new approach to ethnicity that underscores its relative
territoriality, H. Zeynep Bulutgil brings together previously
separate arguments that focus on domestic and international factors
to offer a coherent theory of what causes ethnic cleansing. The
author argues that domestic obstacles based on non-ethnic cleavages
usually prevent ethnic cleansing whereas territorial conflict
triggers this policy by undermining such obstacles. The empirical
analysis combines statistical evaluation based on original data
with comprehensive studies of historical cases in Central and
Eastern Europe, as well as Bosnia, in the 1990s. The findings
demonstrate how socio-economic cleavages curb radical factions
within dominant groups whereas territorial wars strengthen these
factions and pave the way for ethnic cleansing. The author further
explores the theoretical and empirical extensions in the context of
Africa. Its theoretical novelty and broad empirical scope make this
book highly valuable to scholars of comparative and international
politics alike.
