Publisher's Synopsis
The threat posed by ethnic and religious conflict is manifestly increasing. In Eastern Europe, North Africa and South Asia the dangers are acute and the effects tending to spill over into the established democracies. In Europe and North America terrorism and organized crime stemming from these violent situations are seen by governments and security services as a major cause of instability. - - This book assembles in one volume a series of recent studies covering Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Kashmir, Punjab and the Pacific Islands as well as Northern Ireland, written by experts from India, Pakistan, Albania, Australia, Britain and the United States.
