Vorrath, Judith, Lutz Krebs & Dominic Senn, Apr 2007, Linking Ethnic Conflict & Democratization: An Assessment of Four Troubled Regions, NCCR Challenges to Democracy in the 21st Century, Zurich, Ethnic divisions have long been linked to civil war and recent history seems full of examples. However, the mechanisms that lead a society down the path of ethnic conflict are not yet fully understood. This working paper presents the results of a series of workshops discussing the link between ethnicity and conflict under the condition of regime change.
Based on contributions of area experts for four regions - the Balkans, the Caucasus, the Great Lakes of Africa and the Middle East – this paper tries to answer four guiding questions: Is there a link between ethnicity and conflict? Are there transnational spillover effects? Does democratization contribute to ethnic violence? And are there institutional solutions for divided societies?
