| Summary / Abstract (Note) | ecognizing the limited body of empirical work analyzing the impact of education on ethnic violence, this article reviews different perspectives and provides an initial test of competing views. Through a cross-national time-series analysis, the article finds that three indicators of education are positively and significantly related to ethnic violence but that ethnically diverse and nonwealthy countries drive the results. The findings oppose popular beliefs that education promotes tolerance but-in showing that high levels of education increase the risk of ethnic violence-support claims that educa-tion can promote ethnic violence. |
