Conflictos étnicos: nuevo desafío de final del milenio

Abstract

The author analyzes the rebirth of national-ethnic conflicts in the frame of the end of the century and, at the same time, explains the significance they have —or may have— in their social, political and economic aspects for the next century. Also approached are the motives, causes and reasons for such violent rebirths in our days, as well as the role, responsibility and leading participation of the State in them, whose neutrality on the issue, maintains the author, is simply "fictitious”. As an answer to these problems, the author proposes the building of “new multi-ethnic bodies to form the basis of a conceptually, theoretically, judicially, politically and culturally new architecture of the nation-State” as a viable solution to avoid, in the future, the worsening of this kind of problems.
