Description:

This work analyzes processes of nation-building and ethnic integration in Estonia and Moldova in order to increase our understanding of how social peace remains strong in one place and disintegrates in another. It employs both "on the ground" empirical studies and a theoretical framework.

Synopsis:

Why has social peace been preserved in some new, nationalizing countries in Eastern Europe and broken down in others? While civil peace has reigned in Estonia, Moldova experienced a bloody civil war in 1992, claiming more than a thousand casualties. These two states in question share a number of common characteristics, but there is one important difference. Employing both 'on the ground' empirical studies and a strong theoretical framework, National Integration and Violent Conflict in Post-Soviet Societies contributes to a better understanding of national integration process in Estonia and Moldova and of national integration and communal violence in general.
