Abstract:
|
Literature on the origins on ethnic conflict tends to focus on antecedents such as collective territorial, political and cultural objectives and the military balance of power. Here it is argued that the relative importance of such factors is likely to vary with regime types and the objectives that inform their most important constituencies. The approach is applied to diffusion and escalation of ethnic conflict in the former Soviet Union—in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, and Tajikistan. These case studies provide evidence that democratic regimes are likely to weight collective objectives more than balance of power constraints, whereas authoritarian regimes are likely to weight balance of power constraints over collective objectives. |
