Ethnic Violence and the Societal Security Dilemma explores how the phenomenon of ethnic violence can be understood as a form of security dilemma by shifting the focus of the concept away from its traditional concern with state sovereignty to that of identity instead. The book includes case studies on ethnic violence between Serbs and Croats in the Krajina region of Croatia, August 1990, and ethnic violence between Hungarian and Romanians in the Transylvania region of Romania, March 1990.
