Andreas Wimmer's new book takes up the old question of why national integration across ethnic divides succeeds in some places while other countries are destabilized by ethnopolitical inequality, contentious ethnic politics, or even separatism and ethnic war. Slow moving, generational processes are highlighted that allow political alliances to cross ethnic divides: the spread of civil society organizations, linguistic assimilation, and the state’s capacity to provide public goods. These are in turn enhanced by historically achieved (pre-colonial) levels of state centralization. Empirical evidence from cross-national datasets is combined with paired case studies to support the argument.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
