Abstract (2. Language): 
This article provides an analytical discussion on the phenomenon of ethnic identity and ethnically-driven conflicts that have threatened regional and global peace in the post- Cold War era. The study stresses that while ethnic identity is a natural and universal phenomenon, it is not directly a source of conflict. Ethnic identity can lead to inter-group conflicts if certain negative conditions exist for ethnic groups and if ethnic mobilization is supported by international actors, discussed in detail. Several lessons are also drawn from the discussions, in concluding the study, with respect to the process of ethnic conflict resolution.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu makale, etnik kimlik olgusu ile Soğuk Savaş sonrası dönemde barışa yönelik ciddi bir tehdit kaynağı oluşturan etnik çatışmalar üzerine analitik bir tartışma içermektedir. Çalışmada, etnik kimliğin bireylerin sosyal çevreyle etkileşimi sonucu şekillenen doğal ve evrensel bir olgu olduğu, ancak doğrudan bir çatışma kaynağı oluşturmadığı vurgulanmaktadır. Etnik çatışmaların ancak etnik gruba yönelik bariz sınırlamalar ve etnik mobilizasyonun uluslararası aktörlerce desteklenmesi durumunda geçekleşebileceği belirtilmekte, bu bağlamda söz konusu sınırlamalar ile sorunun uluslararası destek boyutu ayrıntılı bir biçimde tartışılmaktadır. Bu tartışmadan yola çıkarak, etnik uyuşmazlık çözümü sürecine ilişkin bazı genellemelere de ulaşılmaktadır.
