![]() | The Geography of Ethnic Violence: Identity, Interests, and the Indivisibility of Territory Subjects: Political violence; Partition Territorial; Nationalism; Human geography; Ethnic conflict -- Former Soviet republics -- Case studies; Former Soviet republics -- Ethnic relations -- Case studies; The Geography of Ethnic Violence is the first among numerous distinguished books on ethnic violence to clarify the vital role of territory in explaining such conflict. Monica Toft introduces and tests a theory of ethnic violence, one that provides a compelling general explanation of not only most ethnic violence, civil wars, and terrorism but many interstate wars as well. This understanding can foster new policy initiatives with real potential to make ethnic violence either less likely or less destructive. It can also guide policymakers to solutions that endure. Monica Duffy Toft is Associate Professor of Public Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government and Assistant Director of the John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies, Harvard University. |
