In the wake of Asian afire Theoretical and Empirical Implications
(UMT.Lahore, 2017-09) Ada Jaffery
This academic research has elaborated the dynamics of civil conflict in general and ethnic conflict in specific. It has not only elucidated the theoretical complexities associated with the term ethnic conflict but has also illustrated the potential causes behind the intensification of such conflicts. Ethnically diverse Asian economies that have been enflamed with the ethnic conflict during the post cold war are taken in the study. Model has statistically inferred firstly, that countries with higher state capacity have a higher tendency of facing ethnic conflict. Secondly, social uplifting of society through internationalization adds fuel to the fire of existing conflict whereas domestic social elevation acts as a device for mitigating conflict. Thirdly and lastly, stable political settings of a state act as a barrier for ethnic conflict and help countries in lessening the conflict turmoil. On the basis of the empirical findings, this study has put froth some policy recommendations using economic, political and social tools.
