How can conflicts between various nationalist/ethnic groups be
reduced? Combining theory with case studies of Spain and Ireland.
Neal G. Jesse and Kristen P. Williams develop an argument favoring
a solution that links resolving issues of identity and preceptions
of inequality to the extablishment of cross-national, democratic
institutions. These institutions can affect deeply held attitudes
by promoting overlapping identities and pooling sovereignty.
Overlapping identities reduce tension by creating an atmosphere
where different ethinic groups lose their strict definitions of
Self and Other. Pooling sovereignty across a number of
international (and natinal) representative bodies leads to
increased access to governmental policymaking for all parties
involved, with each nationalist/ethnic group having a stake in
government. Increased access, moreover, reduces threat perceptions
and ethnic security dilemmas, and increases trust--"all of which
play an important role in overcoming such conflicts.
