Conflict, Inequality and Ethnicity Series Editor: Frances Stewart, Emeritus Professor of Development Economics and Director, CRISE, University of Oxford, UK The series focuses on the relationships between inequality, human security and ethnicity emanating from the work of The Centre for Research on Inequality, Human Security and Ethnicity (CRISE), UK. Some books cover general issues such as mobilization, affirmative action, the role and management of natural resources, and post conflict policies; others are rooted in the experience of different regions, for example, South East Asia, West Africa and Latin America. The series is unique since it is united by interest in an unusual perspective – that of exploring these issues in relation to horizontal inequalities or inequalities among groups. While each book stands alone, they also have unity of approach and share some basic ideas. The publications from the Conflict, Inequality and Ethnicity series will be highly relevant to students, academics and policy makers working on questions of contemporary conflict. Titles include: Graham Brown, Arnim Langer and Frances Stewart (editors) POLICY AND DIVERSITY Experiences and Challenges of Affirmative Action in an International Context Yvan Guichaoua (editor) UNDERSTANDING COLLECTIVE POLITICAL VIOLENCE Arnim Langer, Frances Stewart and Rajesh Venugopal (editors) HORIZONTAL INEQUALITIES AND POST-CONFLICT RESOLUTION Yoichi Mine, Frances Stewart, Sakiko Fukuda-Parr and Thandika Mkandawire (editors) PREVENTING VIOLENT CONFLICT IN AFRICA Inequalities, Perceptions and Institutions Frances Stewart (editor) HORIZONTAL INEQUALITIES AND CONFLICT Understanding Group Violence in Multiethnic Societies Rosemary Thorp, Stefania Battistelli, Yvan Guichaoua, Maritza Paredes and Jose Carlos Orihuela THE DEVELOPMENTAL CHALLENGES OF MINING AND OIL Lessons from Africa and Latin America Rosemary Thorp, Maritza Paredes ETHNICITY AND THE PERSISTENCE OF INEQUALITY The Case of Peru Conflict, Inequality and Ethnicity Series Standing Order ISBN 978–0–230–24608–9 (hardback) and 978–0–230–24708–6 (paperback) (outside North America only) You can receive future titles in this series as they are published by placing a standing order.
