Zusatztext 'Essays on ethnic conflict in selected post-Soviet transition states are well integrated in this excellent work ... a valuable addition to the literature on the post-Soviet transition.' - Choice Informationen zum Autor James Hughes, Gwendolyn Sasse Klappentext The collapse of the Soviet empire in 1991 removed a decades-long system of successful control of potential ethnic and regional conflict . The result was the eruption of numerous conflicts over state-building, some of which degenerated into violence and some of which were resolved or prevented by strategies of accommodation. This volume explores the common trends and differences in the responses of the new post-Soviet states to the problems of state-building in ethnically and regionally divided societies, focusing on the impact of ethnic and regional conflicts on post-communist transition and institutional development. The book will be essential reading for specialists and students alike who are interested in conflict regulation and post-Soviet politics. Zusammenfassung This volume explores the common trends and differences in the responses of the new post-Soviet states to the problems of state-building in ethnically and regionally divided societies.
