"A welcome blend of readability, originality, and utilisation of informed writing on ethnic conflict in its comparative and international settings"
New Zealand International Review

 

"This volume reflects the cutting edge of scholarship on ethnic conflict by two leading scholars in the field. An invaluable addition to the literature."
Richard Caplan, University of Oxford

"This important work expertly reviews the causes of ethnic conflict in order to develop persuasive recommendations for successful conflict-management intervention. Going beyond traditional texts, the volume reflects the latest research on the external causes of internal conflicts. Cordell and Wolff integrate theory with practice, and keep the book very timely, through a series of in-depth case studies of recent ethnic conflicts. This is an impressive work of scholarship, ideal for introductory courses on ethnic conflict and conflict management."
Alan Kuperman, University of Texas at Austin

"This very readable and passionate analysis of ethnic conflict, its sources and management in the post-Cold War world, represents a significant and valuable contribution to the literature on the study of politics and ethnicity."
Adrian Guelke, Queen's University of Belfast
