To what extent do minority grievances contribute to intrastate
conflict? Against the backdrop of rising discrimination against
religious minorities worldwide, Religious Minorities at Risk offers
new insights into classic debates on the influences of
discrimination, deprivation, and inequality (DDI) on minority
grievances and conflict behavior. It does so by utilizing original
data on 771 religious minorities in 183 countries between 2000 and
2014. The book demonstrates that DDI is a significant cause of
minority grievances which, in turn, deeply influence their conflict
behaviors. It also shows the different effects of governmental and
societal religious discrimination versus political and economic and
marginalization. Religious, political, and economic grievances each
escalate conflict intensity by aggrieved minorities in different
ways. Ultimately, the book shows that collective grievances remain
a powerful explanation for minorities' conflict behaviors; although
influenced by DDI, they are not reducible to them. Second, while
religious factors, including religious discrimination and
grievances, uniquely contribute to minority conflict behavior, the
overall patterns observed for religious minorities closely mirror
those typically theorized for other minority groups. Finally,
minority conflict intensity reflects the difficulties states
encounter in accommodating them. Whereas religious grievances are
relatively easily accommodated and therefore rarely escalate beyond
rioting, political grievances influence a wider range, from
non-violent protest to violence against civilians. Economic
grievances, which demand costly systemic reforms, more often
escalate to rebellion. An essential work on the causes of
intercommunal and intrastate conflict, this will assist
policymakers dealing with these issues.
