Fundamental Theories of Ethnic Conflict: Explaining the root causes of ethnic and racial hate

Fundamental Theories of Ethnic Conflict: Explaining the root causes of ethnic and racial hate

Harold Becker
3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
This book develops and expands on theories that aim at explaining the root causes of ethnic and racial
conflicts. The aim is to shift focus from research, policies and strategies based on tackling the effects of
ethnic and racial conflicts, which have so far been ineffective as evidenced by the increase in ethnic
conflicts, to more fundamental ideas, models and strategies. Contents extend across many disciplines
including evolution, biology, religion, communication, mythology and even introspective perspectives.

Drawn from around the world, contributors to the book are respected and experienced award winning
authors, scholars and thinkers with deep understanding of their special fields of contribution.
The book was inspired by the conditions in Kenya, where ethnic violence flared up with terrifying
consequences following a disputed election in 2008. Although the conflict was resolved by the
intervention of the international community, Kenyans – like many other Africans - continue to live in
fear of ethnic conflicts breaking out with more disastrous consequences. The book will be useful to
policy makers, NGOs and others involved in promoting peace. It will also be useful in guiding research
and as a text book in universities and colleges.
