Sommario/riassunto |
|
Ethno-politics has become a major force and source of conflict in the post-Cold War era. The challenge of the Twenty-First Century to military establishments in deeply plural societies is the formation of quasi-ethnic institutional unity from among diverse ethnic groups to prevent national ethnic conflicts from being mirrored within the army. |
