Informationen zum Autor André W.M. Gerrits is Associate Professor in European Studies at the University of Amsterdam. Dirk Jan Wolffram is Assistant Professor in the History Department of Groningen University. Klappentext "The scholarship in this book is first rate. In this fascinating volume, a group of distinguished scholars test the proposition that ethnic homogeneity advances democratic development, by examining European development from the late eighteenth century to the present. Bringing both theoretical and historical evidence to bear, these essays make an important contribution to the dialogue on this topic." --Norman Naimark, Stanford University Zusammenfassung This is the first volume in which the fate of democracy is directly related to ethnic diversity. It highlights the crucial episodes in modern European political history, and shows in what sense ethnic diversity was of vital importance.
