The book analyses the study of the growing field of ethnicity and
politics from a number of different angles. These include the
nature of the subject itself, different theoretical approaches,
ways of addressing political issues the relationship gives rise to,
the impact of major global challenges and a survey of output in the
field. Comprehensive text book makes great course reading.
Questions of identity, particularly ethnicity, play an increasingly
important role in people's lives. They are also of growing
significance in both domestic and international politics. The
increased attention to these issues has been matched by the
mushrooming of scholarship in the field of ethnicity and politics.
The chapters in this survey of recent analytical developments
examine the contribution that this literature has made within the
broad area of comparative politics within the discipline of
political science. They are written by experts active in the
international network of scholars that has been devoted to the
study of this subject. The question of what we mean when we use
ethnic terminology is rigorously interrogated. And the major
theoretical approaches to the study of ethnicity and politics are
critically examined. Ways of addressing ethnic diversity are
debated under the wide headings of accommodation and integration.
The issue of ethnicity in world politics is considered through an
analysis of how watersheds of the last 25 years, including the end
of the Cold War, 9/11 and the global economic downturn have
impacted on the study of the subject. Also analysed is the output
of publications in scholarly journals that has addressed this
subject area. From the Contents: Ethnicity - What are we talking
