Structural Prevention of Ethnic Violence
Palgrave Macmillan (Verlag)
978-0-333-75206-7 (ISBN)
Today, ethnic violence accounts for the majority of the world's conflicts. The question is how ethnic difference is to be recognized. The task is to pre-empt destructive forms of interaction between states and peoples. Autonomy arrangements have, since the 1920s, helped to resolve ethno-national conflicts in Europe. Measures include cultural independence and political representation. Outside Europe, the demand for self-governance led to a deepening of the classic form of minority protection. Federalization, decentralization, and territorial self-governance are proven means of averting conflict. Conflict prevention means a turning-away from the cultural monopolism of nation-states.
CHRISTIAN P. SCHERRER is Senior Researcher in Conflict and Peace Studies at Copenhagen Peace Research Institute, COPRI, Denmark. He is the editor/author of conflict and post-conflict related analysis and studies. His pioneering work on Ethnicity and State in Conflict are published as the first ever handbooks series on Ethno-nationalism.
