Escaping the symbolic politics trap: Reconciliation initiatives and conflict resolution in ethnic wars

Article Abstract:

Resolving ethnic war requires reconciliation by changing hostile attitudes to more moderate ones, assuaging ethnic fears, and replacing the intragroup symbolic politics of ethnic chauvinism with a politics that rewards moderation. The only policy tool for promoting such attitudinal and social changes are reconciliation initiatives such as leaders' acknowledgement of their sides' misdeeds, public education efforts such as media campaigns, and problem-solving workshops.
