Today's demographic struggle for power translates itself into an
inter-ethnic war of numbers. The goal of this war of numbers is to
increase the economic and political power of an ethnic group
relative to other groups, and the method by which this is achieved
entails the increase in size of one population relative to others.
In describing this struggle, the book asks - and answers - three
questions: What is it that ethnic groups think they can achieve by
augmenting their numbers? By what methods do leaders of ethnic
groups actually manipulate demographic characteristics in their
struggle for power? How can such demographic struggles for power be
avoided and thus potentially explosive inter-ethnic conflicts
diffused?
This book offers suggestions for structural alterations within
states that will sever the link between ethnic size and power, and
thus eliminate the rationale for the demographic struggle for
power.
