With its unique emphasis on ethnic cooperation rather than discord,
this work provides insights into how the international community
can help to restrain ethnic conflict in the Twenty First century.
By examining the construction of ethnic peace in post-Soviet
Eastern Europe, Patrice McMahon accurately describes how the
international community worked to quell growing tensions in the
East. Key was a network of public and private organizations whose
goal it was to work in overlapping ways to manage inter-ethnic
relations, which in turn kept ethnically charged clashes far below
levels forecast. Inspired by the Conference on Security and
Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), this network included Western
governments, intergovernmental organizations, as well as
non-governmental organizations. Although each actor had its own
reason for involvement in this network, she highlights the shared
principles and overlapping strategies actors used and how their
interaction translated into a modern form of decentralized
governance. This book addresses these issues by considering ethnic
relations in Romania and Latvia. In so doing it brings to the fore
important stories too long ignored by the West and academic
research. Writing in a direct, readable fashion the author connects
her subject to a larger review of changes in global governance.
