Nation states and minorities resort more and more to violence when
safeguarding their political interests. Although the violence in
the Middle East has been dominating world politics for some time
now, European governments have had their share of ethnic violence
to contend with as this volume demonstrates. And as the case
studies show, ranging as they do from the Basque Country to
Chechnya, from Northern Ireland to Bosnia-Herzegovina, this applies
to western Europe as much as to eastern Europe. However, in
contrast to other parts of the world, instances where political
struggles for power and social inclusion between minorities and
majorities lead to full-fledged inter-ethnic warfare are still the
exception; in the majority of cases conflicts are successfully
de-escalated and even resolved. In a comprehensive conclusion, the
volume offers a theoretical framework for the development of
strategies to deal with violent ethnic conflict.
