The Foundations of Ethnic Politics: Separatism of States and Nations in Eurasia and the World - Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics
Hale, Henry E. (George Washington University, Washington DC)
Hale argues that ethnic identity is a cognitive uncertainty-reduction device with special capacity to exacerbate, but not cause, collective action problems. He applies this concept to illuminate separatism in the USSR and CIS, ultimately advancing a significant reinterpretation of nationalism's role in the USSR's break-up.
