Ethnic Conflict from an Interdisciplinary Perspective: Lessons Learned, Policy Implications, and Recommendations for Conflict Amelioration and Peace Building

Abstract

This concluding chapter will capture the important lessons from the preceding 20 case studies. We will focus on the nature and characteristics of ethnic conflicts, and on both successful and unsuccessful attempts at conflict resolution. We will consider both common and unique features of such conflicts. We will end on a hopeful note by recommending broad approaches and specific strategies that have the potential to lead not only to conflict amelioration and prevention, but also to sustainable peace.
