A Macro Level Approach To The Impact of Glabalization and Regime Types On Ethnic Violence

Öz

This study examines the causes and trends of ethnic conflicts after the second World War. Globalization and the states’ regime types are the two main factors that are believed to have affected the trend and number of ethnic conflicts. It is argued that democratization for communal and ethnic conflicts mostly contribute more conflicts due to the opportunity provided by democratic openings. Such democratization movements justify protest and rebellions for individuals and ethnic groups. In the meantime, ethnic or nationalist conflicts in the post-Cold War era has been not only provoked many speculations, but also extrapolated by some scholars as the political fragmentation for the global system

KÜRESELLEŞME VE REJİM TİPLERİNİN ETNİK ŞİDDET ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİNE MAKRO DÜZEYDE BİR YAKLAŞIM

Öz

Bu çalışma İkinci Dünya Savaşından sonraki etnik çatışmaların nedenlerini ve seyrini incelemektedir. Küreselleşme ve devletlerin rejim tiplerinin, etnik çatışmaların sayılarına ve seyrine etki eden iki önemli faktör olduğuna inanılmaktadır. Etnik çatışmaları önlemek için yapılan demokratik açılımların, yeni fırsatlar doğurduğu için çoğunlukla daha fazla çatışmaya neden olduğu öne sürülmüştür. Demokratik açılımlar, bireyler ve etnik gruplar tarafından etnik protesto ve isyanları meşrulaştırmak amacılya kullanılmaktadır. Etnik olarak homojen yapıdaki devlet sayısısının artacağı, buna karşılık hetorojen yapıdaki devletlerin de bölgesel özerklik isteyen etnik gruplara karşı daha çok mücadele edeceği tahmin edilmiştir. Devletlerin uygulayabilecekleri bazı çatışma hafifletme politikaları tavsiye edilmiştir
