This text brings together a collection of case studies on interventions in ethnic conflicts throughout the world in which the nature of the state is a core concern (Turkey, Russia, Macedonia, Guatemala, Israel, Cyprus, Northern Ireland, South Africa and the USA) and asks how the projects themselves understand success and failure in ethnic conflict resolution. It emphasizes the complexity and importance of better understanding ways in which small scale interventions can sometimes have a large impact on large scale ethnic conflict, and how the goals change of the intervenors shift as the participants redefine the identities and interest at stake.
