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.

Industry Reviews

This book should be essential reading for anyone interested in gaining a more nuanced understanding not only of the cases at hand, but also of the general dynamics of ethnic relations within the former USSR more generally. -- David J. Smith, University of Glassgow
The chapters in this edited book hang together unusually well, and the editor has done a fine job of tying together the arguments about both culture and contingency that arise in the contributors' well-crafted essays. * Slavic Review *
