Main Aspects of Ethnic Conflicts

The emergence of any ethno-political conflict is caused by the existence of one or another form of ethnic inequality. Therefore, the settlement of ethnic conflicts requires finding a new, compromise and acceptable for all parties to the conflict balance of mutual satisfaction of their interests. In recent decades, the problem of ethnic conflicts has been one of the most relevant topics for researchers representing various fields of science. The main reason for such a close attention to this issue is the importance of resolving such conflicts, which have also become one of the most common sources of social controversy and political instability. Today, there is a growing emotional tension on the world stage that accompanies conflict interactions and can have both mobilizing and disorganizing effects on the behaviour of conflict participants. In ethnic conflict, as it is developing, the feeling of antipathy or hostility increases. There are always reasons and cases for this.
Recent events have shown that ethnic conflicts in different parts of the world go beyond domestic and even regional ones. This is especially important due to the fact that regions of ethnic instability are increasingly associated, both in periodicals and in the scientific literature, with potential subjects of international terrorism. Political and economic spatial structuring consists in the expansion of European integration, the complication of relations between political actors, the change of spheres of geopolitical influence, the transformation of the regime and the democratization of a number of countries. This process is not yet complete, walking and approaching its logical end. Conflict prevention is possible only with a comprehensive approach to solving the problem and combining national policies aimed at harmonizing relations between different ethnic groups, as well as law enforcement agencies and the media.
