Studies examine the causes of internal war, the techniques used by nationalist politicians and intellectuals to turn ethnicity into a powerful political resource, the response of the UN and of non-governmental agencies to such political emergencies as those in former Yugoslavia and Somalia, and the constitutional strategies that can be used to acknowledge and accommodate ethnic diversity.
