Why has social peace been preserved in some new, nationalizing
countries in Eastern Europe and broken down in others? While civil
peace has reigned in Estonia, Moldova experienced a bloody civil
war in 1992, claiming more than a thousand casualties. These two
states in question share a number of common characteristics, but
there is one important difference. National Integration and Violent
Conflict in Post-Soviet Societies analyzes processes of
nation-building and ethnic integration in Estonia and Moldova in
order to increase our general understanding of how social peace
remains strong in one place and disintegrates in another. Chapters
employ both 'on the ground' empirical studies and a strong
theoretical framework to discuss theories on ethnic violence in the
modern world and their possible relevance for these two cases.
Additionally, the results of two large-scale surveys and four
country chapters written by scholars living and working in Moldova
and Estonia round out the book's exploration of each country's
similarities and differences. The resulting volume contributes to a
better understanding of national integration process in Estonia and
Moldova and of national integration and communal violence in
general.
