Ethnic conflict has become one of the most prominent and bloody forms of violence in the world today. From the former Yugoslavia and Soviet Union to Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the competition among ethnic groups within state borders for control of resources and security has the capacity to destabilize regional international relations. This is especially so when other states choose to intervene in the domestic strife, whether due to humanitarian concerns or because of ethnic and strategic considerations. The essays in this volume examine when ethnic conflict is likely to lead to violence and especially when other states are likely to intervene. Throughout there is a focus on domestic institutions as the foundation to explain both when ethnic competition will escalate to violent conflict and when other states are prone to become involved, whether through providing external support to one or another ethnic or through direct intervention. The variety of approaches provide useful analytical tools for students, while the diversity of cases from different regions gives the reader a sense of the scope of such problems.

"A stimulating analysis focusing on the link between internal state structures and the internationalization of ethnic conflict. Ethnic Conflict And International Politics is likely to become a part of the ongoing dialogue on these connections well into the future." - Donald Rothchild, University of California, Davis "This book is a refreshing and powerful application of international relations theory to cross-border ethnic conflicts, effectively examining the diffusion of ethnic conflicts from one state to another and the escalation of ethnic conflicts within the state. The clear presentation of theoretical concepts combined with the case studies selected from Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa enhance the usefulness of this volume in the classroom." - Sandra Joireman, Wheaton College
