In the summer of 2008, open war broke out once again in Georgia, a small, multiethnic country along Russia’s Caucasian border.
It was not a new conflict. In 1990, as the Soviet Union collapsed, the region of South Ossetia, then part of Soviet Georgia, fought a war of independence with the Georgian govement. Both sides in that conflict signed a cease-fire that left the political question of Ossetian sovereignty unresolved. The outbreak of sustained violence in August 2008 marked the conflict’s most significant renewal since the earlier cease-fire.

This paper looks at how violent ethnic conflicts are managed. The paper separates ethnic civil wars from the more general class of ethnic conflicts. More specifically, we examine these conflicts, and seek to understand the extent to which mediation can play an effective role in managing such conflicts, and which factors have the most impact on its performance and effectiveness. We set up a theoretical framework from which we derive several propos...

Despite a boom in studies of ethnic conflict, the empirical and conceptual justification for this field remains weak. Not only are claims of surging ethnic conflict unsubstantiated, but the concept itself is problematic. The concept tends to homogenise quite distinct political phenomena. Making valid causal inferences about ‘ethnic conflict’ is nearly impossible as a result, a shortcoming reflected in the un-robust nature of the literature on the...

World Politics, Volume 58, Number 2, January 2006, pp. 276-310 (Article) In the early 1990s Russia stood at the precipice of state failure. Demands for autonomy radiated from Russia’s ethnic republics, threatening to split the federation along ethnic lines as had happened to the Soviet Union before it. Russia’s republics had begun appropriating power from Moscow during the late Soviet era. With the collapse of the USSR, several accelerated their...

THE decline of interstate armed conflict and perceived rise in the frequency of civil wars since the end of the cold war1—especially in Europe2—have contributed to a new wave of interest in civil wars.3 This interest focuses on ethnic competition as a source of conflict and widely regards civil wars of the post–cold war era (new civil wars) as fundamentally different from their predecessors (old civil wars); new civil wars are distinguished as cr...

Why do we have so many ethnic partisans in the world ready to die as suicide bombers? Does a rational calculus lie beneath the nationalist pride and passions? Can it be discovered if only we apply our understanding of rationality more creatively? This article seeks to answer these questions by focusing on the nationalism of resistance. It argues that a focus on dignity, self-respect, and recognition, rather than a straightforward notion of self-i...
