A new theory of ethnic cleansing based on the most terrible cases (colonial genocides, Armenia, the Nazi Holocaust, Cambodia, Yugoslavia, Rwanda) and cases of lesser violence (early modern Europe, contemporary India, and Indonesia). Murderous cleansing is modern, 'the dark side of democracy'. It results where the demos (democracy) is confused with the ethnos (the ethnic group). Danger arises where two rival ethno-national movements each claims 'its own' state over the same territory. Conflict escalates where either the weaker side fights because of aid from outside, or the stronger side believes it can deploy sudden, overwhelming force. Escalation is not simply the work of 'evil elites' or 'primitive peoples'. It results from complex interactions between leaders, militants, and 'core constituencies' of ethno-nationalism. Understanding this complex process helps us devise policies to avoid ethnic cleansing in the future.

读后感
1949年，乔治·奥威尔在他的小说《1984》中，描述了一个可怕的极权社会，在这个社会中，85%的无产者被排除在政治决策之外。令人欣慰的是，奥威尔所描述的社会似乎并没有到来，民主化的浪潮则席卷了全球。在许多人看来，“民主”是政治体制发展的最后一个阶段，质疑它，需要很大...

评分民主有没有阴暗面？肯定有。所以，这本书的作者在某种意义上肯定说出了部分真相。民主操作不当，或者不够成熟的时候，阴暗面就会很大。同样，某种“失败的民主”也可能会扩大这种危害性。 同样，性生活有没有危害性？肯定也有。比如，过度的性生活会导致腰酸膝软，影响身体健...
评分在多民族国家，民主化如何可能？自约翰•密尔以降，许多社会科学家都共同关注过这一问题。众人皆知，在民主化转型过程中，很容易出现下列情况：一、国家控制能力变弱；二、政客诉诸民族感情、利益对社会下层进行政治动员；三、政客攀比（outbidding），竞相向极端思想、政策...
评分这部著作的问世在国内引起了不小的关注，自然，作为一个对民主转型有着独特学术兴趣的读者，也拔了草。平心而论，这部书如果可以换个标题就值五星，我给了三星是因为他大概还需要再换个翻译。 为什么我认为他应该换个标题呢？因为其实曼所讨论的更多是现代性对于种族灭绝的影响...
