It is also the first work that focuses not on causes but rather on consequences for democratization and market reform, the two most widely studied political outcomes in the developing world. Building on existing work emphasizing the effects of economic development and political culture, the book adds a new, comprehensive treatment of how war affects political and economic reform. Author Shale Horowitz employs both statistical evidence and historical case studies of the eight new nations to determine that ethnic conflict entangles, distracts, and destabilizes reformist democratic governments, while making it easier for authoritarian leaders to seize and consolidate power. As expected, economic backwardness worsens these tendencies, but Horowitz finds that powerful reform-minded nationalist ideologies can function as antidotes. The comprehensiveness of the treatment, use of both qualitative and quantitative analysis, and focus on standard concepts from comparative politics make this book an excellent tool for classroom use, as well as a ground-breaking analysis for scholars. 606 $aEthnic conflict$zFormer Soviet republics$vCase studies 606 $aPost-communism$zFormer Soviet republics 606 $aDemocratization$zFormer Soviet republics 606 $aEthnic conflict$zFormer Yugoslav republics 606 $aPost-communism$zFormer Yugoslav republics 606 $aDemocratization$zFormer Yugoslav republics 606 $aYugoslav War, 1991-1995 607 $aFormer Soviet republics$xPolitics and government 607 $aFormer Soviet republics$xEconomic conditions 607 $aFormer Yugoslav republics$xPolitics and government 607 $aFormer Yugoslav republics$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aEthnic conflict 615 0$aPost-communism 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aEthnic conflict 615 0$aPost-communism 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aYugoslav War, 1991-1995. 676 $a947.086 700 $aHorowitz$b Shale Asher$01792385 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973318503321 996 $aFrom ethnic conflict to stillborn reform$94469013 997 $aUNINA
