席卷东欧部分地区、前苏联和非洲的种族冲突浪潮导致许多政治观察家担心这些冲突会蔓延。波斯尼亚、车臣和卢旺达等地的最初疫情如果得不到遏制，似乎有可能引发灾难性的流行病。在本书中，编辑们对种族冲突的起源和蔓延进行了雄心勃勃、深入细致的探索。编辑和撰稿人认为，种族冲突并不是由族群间差异或几个世纪以来的世仇直接引起的，苏联的解体并不仅仅释放了长期压抑的种族激情。相反，他们着眼于对安全的焦虑、对资源的竞争、与政府沟通的中断以及无法做出持久承诺如何导致族群陷入冲突，并考虑族群冲突背后的战略互动及其有效管理。种族冲突如何、为何以及何时会因在其他地方引发类似冲突而扩散，或因引入外部政党而升级？如此跨国的民族冲突怎么可能

Initial outbreaks in such places as Bosnia, Chechnya and Rwanda, if not contained, appear capable of setting off epidemics of catastrophic proportions. In this volume, the editors have organized an ambitious, sophisticated exploration of both the origins and spread of ethnic conflict. The editors and contributors argue that ethnic conflict is not caused directly by intergroup differences or centuries old feuds and that the collapse of the Soviet Union did not simply uncork ethnic passions long surpressed. They look instead at how anxieties over security, competition for resources, breakdown in communication with the government, and the inability to make enduring commitments lead ethnic groups into conflict, and they consider the strategic interactions that underlie ethnic conflict and its effective management. How, why and when do ethnic conflicts either diffuse by precipitating similar conflicts elsewhere or escalate by bringing in outside parties? How can such transnational ethnic conflicts
