This book tests a new approach to understanding ethnic mobilization
and considers the interplay of global forces, national-level
variation in inequality and repression, and political mobilization
of ethnicity. It advances the claim that economic and political
integration among the world's states increases the influence of
ethnic identity in political movements. Drawing on a 100-country
dataset analyzing ethnic events and rebellions from 1965 to 1998,
Olzak shows that to the degree in which a country participates in
international social movement organizations, ethnic identities in
that country become more salient. International organizations
spread principles of human rights, anti-discrimination,
sovereignty, and self-determination. At the local level, poverty
and restrictions on political rights then channel group demands
into ethnic mobilization. This study will be of great importance to
scholars and policy makers seeking new and powerful explanations
for understanding why some conflicts turn violent while others do
not.
