Abstract
Ethnic, or interethnic, conflict refers to disputes between contending groups who identify themselves primarily based on ethnic criteria and resources of collective rights (Henderson, 2008). Ethnic criteria may include perceptions of shared culture, nationality, language, religion, and race. An ethnic group is a collective sharing of a belief of common ancestry, a link with a specific territory, a perception of a shared culture, and a belief in a common destiny (Henderson, 2008). Disputes between ethnic groups have been diminished and replaced by increasing cooperation. However, cooperation alone is insignificant to bridge conflicts over the commons of high economic values or between separate political groups in local, regional, or global contexts. Often, the internalization of ethnic conflict, primarily ethnic and sectarian division, shows the influence of domestic and international actors.
