"Taras and Ganguly provide sophisticated but accessible coverage of political and violent conflict among ethnic groups in contemporary states. It is the most flexible text I have found since it covers approaches from both international relations and comparative politics and applies them to cases from advanced industrialized democracies, post-communist societies, and the developing world."-Donna Lee Van Cott, University of Connecticut
