Description: "This book brings together a collection of case-studies of interventions in ethnic conflicts throughout the world in which the nature of the state is a core concern (Turkey, Russia, Macedonia, Guatemala, Israel, Cyprus, Northern Ireland, South Africa and the USA). The case-studies examine the goals of each project and examine how the interveners themselves conceptualize success and failure in ethnic conflict resolution.

The authors emphasize the complexity and importance of better understanding how small-scale interventions can sometimes have a big impact on large-scale ethnic conflict and how the goals of the inter-veners shift as the participants redefine the identities and interests at stake."--BOOK JACKET.
