Whereas his highly acclaimed 1993 book presented a disturbing picture of spreading ethnic violence, this volume documents a pronounced decline since the early 1990s—a decline attributable, in part at least, to many states abandoning strategies of assimilation and control in favor of policies of pluralism and accommodation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNonetheless, Gurr identifies some ninety groups as being at significant risk of conflict and repression in the early 21st century. And he cautions that the emerging global regime of principles and strategies governing relations between communal groups and states is far from perfect or universally effective.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"United States Institute of Peace Press (USIP Press)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019461509360,"sku":"9781929223022","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781929223022_p0.jpg?v=1763637469","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781929223022","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
