As ethnic groups clash, the international community faces the challenge of understanding the multiple causes of violence and formulating solutions that will bring about peace. Allowing for greater insight, Jesse and Williams bridge two sub-fields of political science in Ethnic Conflict ―international relations and comparative politics. They systematically apply a "levels of analysis" framework, looking at the individual, domestic, and international contexts to better explore and understand its complexity. Five case study chapters apply the book’s framework to disputes around the world and include coverage of Bosnia, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Northern Ireland, Sri Lanka, and Sudan. Never losing sight of their analytical framework, the authors provide richly detailed case studies that help students understand both the unique and shared causes of each conflict. Students will appreciate the book’s logical presentation and excellent pedagogical features including detailed maps that show political, demographic, and cultural data.

Utilizing a comparative foreign policy research method, this book examines the foreign policy decisions of small states through the lens of three prominent international relations theories: realism, domestic factors, and social constructivism. By analyzing seven focused case studies, it offers insights into how these theories shape the actions and strategies of smaller nations on the global stage.

Exploring the resolution of conflicts among nationalist and ethnic groups, the authors argue for the establishment of cross-national democratic institutions. By addressing identity issues and perceptions of inequality, these institutions promote overlapping identities that diminish rigid distinctions between groups. Pooling sovereignty enhances governmental access for all ethnic parties, fostering trust and reducing threat perceptions. The case studies of Spain and Ireland illustrate how these strategies can effectively mitigate tensions and contribute to lasting peace among diverse communities.

This book uses a comparative foreign policy research method and seven focused case studies to analyze the foreign policy choices of small states as predicted by the leading three theories in international relations: realism, domestic factors, and social constructivism.
