Description:
The authors argue that ethnic conflicts are built into the regional system of the Middle East, frequently encouraged as an aspect of international strategy, and cannot be managed without changing the system itself. The book challenges two major assumptions of contemporary studies of ethnic conflict: first, that ethnicity is essentially psychological and irrational and, second, that ethnic politics are a domestic affair and have only indirect and unintended international consequences.
