There are over 150 ethnic conflicts in the world today.
All of them create instability, and some of them pose a global threat.
The most intractable ethnic conflicts are the ones that lead to territorial partition.
Whether they are historical, de facto or unfinished, ethnic partitions create recurrent cycles of conflict, as the ongoing conflicts in the Balkans, South Asia, and the Middle East show.
Can ethnic partitions be stabilized, or is conflict inherent in their structure?
In this web site we explore the answers to this question, from lessons learned to the options ahead.
