This book provides a focused sociological and political-scientific analysis of the origins, dynamics, and mechanisms behind ethnic conflict, civil war, and terrorism. Drawing on cross-disciplinary theory and empirical case studies, the author examines long-term structural factors (such as social stratification, demography, and group boundaries) and short-term triggers (such as leadership, mobilization, and relative deprivation) that can lead to violent conflict. The final chapter offers policy-oriented reflections aimed at preventing and resolving civil-war violence, making the work relevant for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners studying conflict, security, and peacebuilding.
