Summary:

The collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and elsewhere seemed to hold out the promise of democratic reform. But as old national and ethnic rivalries have reasserted themselves, the prospects for democracy in many parts of the world have been cast into doubt. In Nationalism, Ethnic Conflict, and Democracy Larry Diamond and Marc Plattner bring together a distinguished group of contributors to examine the tensions between new hopes for democratic reform and the ancient rivalries that threaten to extinguish them.
