Combining theory with case studies of Spain and Ireland, Neal G. Jesse and Kristen P. Williams develop an argument favoring a solution that links resolving issues of identity and perceptions of inequality to the establishment of cross-national, democratic institutions. These institutions can affect deeply held attitudes by promoting overlapping identities and pooling sovereignty. Overlapping identities reduce tension by creating an atmosphere where different ethnic groups lose their strict definitions of Self and Other. Pooling sovereignty across a number of international (and national) representative bodies leads to increased access to governmental policymaking for all parties involved, with each nationalist/ethnic group having a stake in government. Increased access, moreover, reduces threat perceptions and ethnic security dilemmas, and increases trust?all of which play an important role in overcoming such conflicts. 410 0$aSUNY series in global politics. 410 0$aSUNY series in national identities. 606 $aConflict management 606 $aEthnic groups$xCivil rights 606 $aInternational agencies 606 $aInternational organization 606 $aInternational relations and culture 606 $aMinorities$xCivil rights 606 $aSocial justice 615 0$aConflict management. 615 0$aEthnic groups$xCivil rights. 615 0$aInternational agencies. 615 0$aInternational organization. 615 0$aInternational relations and culture. 615 0$aMinorities$xCivil rights. 615 0$aSocial justice. 676 $a303.6/9 700 $aJesse$b Neal G.$f1967-$01611210 701 $aWilliams$b Kristen P.$f1964-$01813565 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962826403321 996 $aIdentity and institutions$94366799 997 $aUNINA
