The Dynamics of Ethnopolitical Conflict Management by International and Regional Organizations in Europe
Publisher: Journal on Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues in Europe Volume: 31 pages, pdf Description: Ethnic tensions and conflicts are prominent political phenomena. For example, several states in Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the Caucasus have experienced such tensions and conflicts in recent years. The nature of these conflicts has ranged from violent wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo, to less intense but nevertheless violent conflicts in Moldova and Georgia, to largely non-violent tensions in Serbia, the Baltics and Ukraine. The management and prevention of such conflicts, which have also occurred in other parts of the world, have been among the main security challenges in the post-Cold War era.
