Omar McDoom presents his paper "Three thoughts on the relationship between ethnicity and violent conflict" as part of the "Ethnicity, inequality and inclusion" session of the 2022 WIDER Development Conference "The puzzle of peace – towards inclusive development in fragile contexts."

Both ethnicity and inequality have been two of the most debated factors for driving and shaping conflict. Why do people fight? When and how does inequality matter? What role do political and legal institutions play in driving conflict? Which policies can promote inclusion and peaceful co-existence in multi-ethnic societies? This session will take a close look at some of the most pressing questions in Social Sciences and bring together insights from scholars with different regional expertise.
