Description: Ethnic Bargaining by Erin K. Jenne Ethnic Bargaining introduces a theory of minority politics that blends comparative analysis and field research in the postcommunist countries of East Central Europe with insights from rational choice. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Ethnic Bargaining introduces a theory of minority politics that blends comparative analysis and field research in the postcommunist countries of East Central Europe with insights from rational choice. Erin K. Jenne finds that claims by ethnic minorities have become more frequent since 1945 even though nation-states have been on the whole more responsive to groups than in earlier periods. Minorities that perceive an increase in their bargaining power will tend to radicalize their demands, she argues, from affirmative action to regional autonomy to secession, in an effort to attract ever greater concessions from the central government. The language of self-determination and minority rights originally adopted by the Great Powers to redraw boundaries after World War I was later used to facilitate the process of decolonization. Jenne believes that in the 1960s various ethnic minorities began to use the same discourse to pressure national governments into transfer payments and power-sharing arrangements. Violence against minorities was actually in some cases fueled by this politicization of ethnic difference.Jenne uses a rationalist theory of bargaining to examine the dynamics of ethnic cleavage in the cases of the Sudeten Germans in interwar Czechoslovakia; Slovaks and Moravians in postcommunist Czechoslovakia; the Hungarians in Romania, Slovakia, and Vojvodina; and the Albanians in Kosovo. Throughout, she challenges the conventional wisdom that partisan intervention is an effective mechanism for protecting minorities and preventing or resolving internal conflict. Author Biography Erin K. Jenne is Professor of International Relations at the Central European University. She is the author of Nested Security: Lessons in Conflict Management from the League of Nations and the European Union and Ethnic Bargaining: The Paradox of Minority Empowerment, both from Cornell.

Conclusion and Policy Implications Notes Interviews Selected Bibliography Index Review "Ethnic Bargaining is an excellent contribution to our understanding of the role that external actors play in the triadic game of ethnic minority radicalization and moderation. The theory as it pertains to triadic innovative and the well-structured case studies that examine this interaction are informative."-Slavic Review "Ethnic Bargaining is very readable and may be superior to even the best recent books on ethnic conflict in its very impressive base of research. Erin K. Jenne conveys both a breadth and depth of knowledge and offers a really interesting model of ethnic conflict as related to minority radicalization."-Patrick James, Director of the Center for International Studies, University of Southern California "It has become quite clear over time that the external world influences the dynamics of ethnic conflict, but Erin K. Jenne is one of the first to develop a theory specifying this relationship. Indeed, Ethnic Bargaining is perhaps the best book in this new generation of scholarship, addressing an important issue clearly, and presenting a significantly different and insightful theoretical approach. Jennes book executes a thoughtful research design quite well and her findings will cause scholars of ethnic conflict to rethink the dynamics of separatism."-Stephen M.
