Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Economic reform has been linked to ethnic conflict in states as varied as the former Yugoslavia, India and Nigeria. I argue in this paper that the economic reform measures implemented in the former Soviet Union paradoxically facilitated ethnic cooperation rather than conflict by leveling perceived group-based differences in social mobility inherited from the Soviet period. Soviet ethnic politics, like much of Soviet politics, were zero-sum. In the Soviet shortage economy, the allocation of goods by the state was believed to benefit some ethnic groups at the expense of others. Economic reform, however painful for the majority of the population, has helped to break down the economic differentiation of ethnic groups, thus decoupling ethnic concerns from economic problems. In this sense, the consequences of economic reform represent an �indivisible bad� seen as affecting everyone equally, irrespective of ethnicity. Evidence for my argument comes from a dataset I have constructed of 1,785 street demonstrations in Latvia and Ukraine from 1989-1999.
