| Abstract | Is there case study evidence of a relationship between the social construction of ethnic identities and the probability of ethnic war? The mere observation that ethnic identities are socially constructed does not by itself explain ethnic violence and may not even be particularly relevant. Our purpose here is to see if we can reject the null hypothesis that the social construction of ethnicity has little or no bearing on the likelihood of ethnic violence. Our procedure is to examine closely the narratives of expert observers of some highly violent episodes of ethnic relations. Although a different set of case studies might yield different overall conclusions, the narratives we examined contain useful clues about the mechanisms that link identity construction and ethnic violence.1 |
