Perspectives on Contemporary Ethnic Conflict Primal Violence or the Politics of Conviction?

The existing traditions of inquiry into ethnic conflict can be classified into four categories: essentialism, instrumentalism, constructivism, and institutionalism. All four traditions have a distinguished lineage, but none can really account for the worldwide spread of ethnic violence. We need to move from the local to the macro or global. This book, using methodology from sociology, history, and politics, will present the complexities of ethnic conflict in terms of lingusitics, religion, territory, and tribes in various regions.Saha, Santosh C. is the author of 'Perspectives on Contemporary Ethnic Conflict Primal Violence or the Politics of Conviction?', published 2006 under ISBN 9780739110850 and ISBN 0739110853.
