Ethnic Inequalities and Public Sector Governance

by Y. Bangura (Editor)

Overview

Relative equality has been achieved in the public sectors of countries that are highly fragmented or those with ethnicity-sensitive policies, but not in those with ethnicity-blind policies. The book is critical of approaches to conflict management that underplay background conditions in shaping choices.
