Description:How to democratically govern multi-ethnic, multi-national, and multi-religious societies remains a major challenge for political leaders and policy makers throughout the world. This book, containing ten policy papers, draws on the expertise of Canadian and international specialists to highlight some of the key issues and challenges, as well as to provide certain policy suggestions.Most of the violent conflicts in the past two decades have been fought over ethno-national cleavages. The traditional focus on socio-economic development as a solution to conflict misses the point. The more recent acknowledgement of good and democratic governance as central to development is a step in the right direction. But a piece of the puzzle is still missing: the crucial importance of addressing identity politics — that is, addressing issues related to ethnicity and nationalism. This volume examines, from a policy perspective, this relationship between conflict, ethnicity and democracy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
