Notes

Abstract: Previous research into ethnic conflict has focused on the role of political representation in advancing interethnic cooperation and incorporating minority concerns. The nature of the state influences inclusion, but ethnic conflict may relate to the state’s ability to distribute goods. I propose that when an ethnic group can influence state stability through protest, rebellion, or changes in voting behavior, access to state resources should be assured. When groups are denied economic opportunity conflict may result. I tested the role of resource access on conflict onset from 1950 to 2003 for countries identified in the Minority at Risk data set. An aggregate economic discrimination score tested against nine measures of conflict onset revealed a mixed relationship. Greater levels of economic discrimination increased the likelihood of ethnic violence onset, but decreased the likelihood of conflict onset more generally. Significantly, conflict over government incompatibilities declined in anocracies as discrimination increased. The major conclusion of the research is that the promise of democratic change may potentially deter ethnic conflict.
