Abstract

THE AUTHOR'S CORRELATION OF PATTERNS AND TRENDS SUGGESTS A RETURN TO A 'TRADITIONAL' AGE OF PARTICULARISTIC ETHNO-NATIONAL CONFLICTS, STIMULATED BY MODERNIZATION BUT IDEOLOGICALLY AMBIVALENT, RELATIVELY ISOLATABLE, POTENTIALLY BRUTAL, AND OFTEN OF LONG DURATION. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
