Why is it that Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland have
been in perpetual conflict for thirty years when they can live and
prosper together elsewhere? Why was there a bloody civil war in
Bosnia and Herzegovina when Croats, Serbs, and Muslims had lived
peacefully side-by-side for decades? Why did nobody see and act
upon the early warning signs of genocide in Rwanda that eventually
killed close to a million people in a matter of weeks? What is it
that makes Kashmir potentially worth a nuclear war between India
and Pakistan?
In Ethnic Conflict, Stefan Wolff draws upon eye witness
testimonies, reports by Human Rights organizations, theories of
conflict and conflict management, and his own long experience in
working to resolve ethnic conflict to offer compelling answers to
these questions. In recent years hardly a day has gone by when
ethnic conflict in some part of the world has not made headline
news. The violence involved in these conflicts continues to
destabilize entire regions, hamper social and economic development,
and cause unimaginable human suffering. Wolff goes beyond
superficial media coverage of these crises to illuminate the broad
similarities between ethnic conflicts around the world and to
engage the fundamental question underlying them all: why do
nationalism and ethnicity still have such terrible power to turn
neighbor against neighbor? Wolff also explores the crucial-and
growing-links between ethnic conflict and other security
challenges, such as terrorism and organized crime.
No issue is more pressing in the world today than the ongoing and
seemingly intractable tragedy of ethnic conflict. Stefan Wolff's
new book sheds vitally important new light onboth the causes and
the potential solutions to one of humanity's darkest behaviors.
