The Intra-Group Dimensions of Ethnic Conflict in Sri Lanka : learning to read between the lines
Bush, Kenneth D.
The Intra-Group Dimensions of Ethnic Conflict in Sri Lanka : learning to read between the lines - Basingstoke, Hampshire, Palgrave Macmillan, 2003 - xx, 265 pages - International political economy series .
"With an empirical focus on Sri Lanka, this book advances our understanding of violent and nonviolent forms of ethnic conflicts by challenging 'billiard ball analyses' which cast ethnic groups as relatively unified entities that interact in the 'inter-group arena'. The book illustrates that if conflict management efforts do not explicitly incorporate inter- and intra-group considerations, then they are doomed to be sub-optimal at best, and conflict-inducing at worst."--Jacket
