| description |
Despite implicating ethnicity in everything from civil war to economic failure,
researchers seldom consult psychological research when addressing the most basic
question: What is ethnicity? The result is a radical scholarly divide generating contradictory
recommendations for solving ethnic conflict.Research into how the human
brain actually works demands a revision of existing schools of thought. At its foundation,
ethnic identity is a cognitive uncertainty-reduction device with special capacity
to exacerbate, but not cause, collective action problems. This insight leads to a new
general theory of ethnic conflict and nationalism that can improve both understanding
and practice. Supporting this claim is a wide-ranging discussion of patterns in
secessionism, international integration, state collapse, race relations, and deadly ethnic
violence found across the globe. Special attention is paid to an in-depth case study
of national separatism in Eurasia, which produces a major reinterpretation of nationalism’s
role in the USSR’s breakup and interstate relations in the Commonwealth of
Independent States. |
