About

This blog focuses on ethnopolitics, addressing minority and ethnic issues around the world. Such issues are often interwoven with conflicts that extend far into the past, so we are equally devoted to historical analyses combined with contemporary issues. Key topics include conflict management, minority rights, and, of course, ethnopolitics. I also write about economics. Often, conflicts are about resource scarcity and profit. In such situations, ethnic issues easily arise as functional conflicts and develop a dynamic of their own. However, the real motive behind an escalation may be purely or partly economic.
Some of you may find the posts critical, but I hope to provide unbiased facts to offer the most objective opinion possible.

Last but not least, I am interested in your stories, so get involved and send me an email or an article, and we can grow together!
