Stefan Wolff investigates the origins, dynamics, management, and settlement of ethnic conflicts throughout the world - and helps explain why nationalism and ethnicity are still such powerful forces in turning neighbour against neighbour.

He shows that the value of such does not depend on their views being true, but on features such as their originality, insight and systematic vision.
