К социетальной интеграции или к развитию “параллельных обществ”? (Сравнительное изучение межэтнических взаимодействий)

Abstract

The paper presents some outcomes of a comparative study concerning five different national cases of interethnic integration, which is aimed at revealing the state and prospects of societal interaction between an ethnic community and the dominant society within certain national borders and under different economic, cultural and political conditions. Some findings covering a mechanism of the societal ethnic-based integration, as well as types of the integration strategies used by different ethnic communities under varying social conditions are drawn. The study both the roots of interethnic conflicts relating to very different national cases and their impact on societal integration, national security and stability makes evident that such processes in dissimilar European societies are under a strong influence of certain economic and political interests supported by the basic historical and cultural preconditions.
