Example text
Serb-dominated Yugoslavia claimed to be responding to a matter under its sovereignty. Indeed, Milosevic’s overriding concern during this time became management of the unpredictable zealotry of Bosnian Serb leaders (who, ironically, he had funded and organized);“ethnic cleansing” threatened to attract significant outside military intervention. State survival thus emerged as Milosevic’s primary goal during the conflict (Gagnon 1992). Under the pressure of economic sanctions, Serbia finally discontinued even covert assistance to its co-ethnics in Bosnia and Croatia.
If the country is becoming more penetrated by globalization, or more integrated in the global system, this tends to threaten some of the values and ideologies of some (traditional) ethnic groups. This threat allows the groups to use their common ethnic values and ideology to more efficiently recruit supporters. This makes it more difficult for the state to recruit from among the traditional ethnic groups, which can weaken the state’s institutional structures and lead to escalation as described in framework 1.
The first hypothesis is that weakened state structures invite external predation, that is, conflict escalation. The Serbian case supports the hypothesis, while the Somali one does not necessarily contradict it. Serbian meddling in Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia at various times in the early 1990s took place in the context of a disintegrating political structure, as the Yugoslav federation fell apart rapidly and with nothing obvious in its place to moderate ethnic cleavages. ” As one of the poorest countries on earth, Ethiopia’s state structure stood in a constant state of readiness for collapse.
