Many of the new democracies established in the last twenty years are severely ethnically divided, with numerous minority groups, languages, and religions.

We use this framework to shed light on a wide range of legal issues involving foreign policy, terrorism, and international law that are difficult to make sense of in terms of the traditional rational choice perspective. We argue that in these areas, the powerful influence …
