Description
Summary:The seventeen contributors, primarily from European and U.S. institutions, approach the question from widely varying areas of expertise: political science, sociology, legal and political theory, psychology, and policymaking in the nongovernmental sector. The examples given of these include perpetuating conflict by institutionalizing differences at the political level; inhibiting the transition from conflict management to conflict resolution by encouraging extremism; stifling internal diversity in the name of communal identity; and failing to recognize multiple or "cross-cutting" identities, leaving insufficient space for individual autonomy.
