Leonard Binder and 14
other authors argue that ethnic conflicts are built into
the regional system of the Middle East, frequently
encouraged as an aspect of international strategy, and
cannot be managed without changing the system itself. The
book challenges two major assumptions of contemporary
studies of ethnic conflict: first, that ethnicity is
essentially psychological and irrational and, second,
that ethnic politics are a domestic affair and have only
indirect and unintended international consequences.
