ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
The Three Images of Ethnic War identifies
the causes of ethnic war at three levels of analysis; the group, the state, and
the international. These are the three images of ethnic war. This book places
the outbreak of violence within context of the state and the international
system in which the violence unfolds. Hanlon examines three violent ethnic wars
in Yugoslavia, Nagorno-Karabakh, and Iraq. Yugoslavia`s violent ethnic wars,
the war over Nagorno-Karabakh, and the violent conflict between Kurds and Arabs
in Iraqi Kurdistan demonstrate that ethnic violence is a complex and
multifaceted occurrence. Hanlon argues that the numerous reasons why groups
adopt violent means can only be understood through a multilevel framework of
the three images of ethnic war and the interrelationship among them.
