Description - Ethnic Violence and the Societal Security Dilemma by Paul Roe
Ethnic Violence and the Societal Security Dilemma explores how the phenomenon of ethnic violence can be understood as a form of security dilemma by shifting the focus of the concept away from its traditional concern with state sovereignty to that of identity instead. The book is divided into theoretical and empirical chapters, beginning with the categorisation by the author of the security dilemma concept into 'tight', 'regular' and 'loose' formulations, and its combination with the Copenhagen School's notion of societal security. This reconceptualisation of the traditional security dilemma then provides a framework capable of explaining conflictual dynamics between ethnic groups and how some cases can be resolved without recourse to outright war. It includes case studies on: *Ethnic violence between Serbs and Croats in the Krajina region of Croatia, August 1990 *Ethnic violence between Hungarian and Romanians in the Transylvania region of Romania, March 1990. This book will interest students and researchers of ethnic violence and the security dilemma.
