Summary: After an account of why ethnic conflict has become so important in the study of international relations in the introduction, part one looks at how the interstate environment contributes to the failure of multi-ethnic states. Part Two explores the destructive processes that accompany the escalation of violent ethnic conflict and sets out a model of ethnic conflict resolution based on the distinction between peace-keeping, peace-making and peace-building strategies. Part Three concentrates on the record of the United Nations in these three areas and includes an analysis of current UN peace-keeping work in situations of ethnic conflict. The work of the United Nations in the field of minority rights is also assessed.
