contribution to understanding the management and settlement of ethnic
conflicts. As a first comprehensive analysis this book is a veritable vademecum, which should be required reading not only for

ethnic conflicts, particularly those in international organizations and the
diplomatic service" (Anthony Alcock, Ethnic conflicts

uncertain costs and outcomes. The contributors discuss the causes and
consequences of ethnic conflict, and examine the successes and failures of
