“…BiH as a part of ex-Yugoslavia (1945ex-Yugoslavia ( -1992 was a multi-ethnic republic with the highest level of ethnic tolerance (Hodson et al, 1994;Dyrstad, 2012). Unfortunately, the Bosnian war caused a structural break of the ethnic composition within the country, and BiH went through a radical change from ethnically tolerant to quite intolerant in just a few years (Dyrstad, 2012).…”

This article explores the growth aspirations of owners and managers of young firms in a post-conflict economy by focusing on social capital. It treats social capital as a multidimensional, multilevel phenomenon, studying the effects of discussion network characteristics, trust in institutions, generalised trust in people and local ethnic pluralism. We argue that in a post-conflict country, ethnic pluralism is indicative of local norms of tolerance towards experimentation and risk taking which support growth aspirations. It also distinguishes between the aspirations of hired managers and owners-managers. The empirical counterpart and hypotheses testing rely on survey evidence drawn from young businesses in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“…Yugoslavia, the most violent ethnic conflicts emerged in the republics with the highest ethnic diversity (Hodson et al 1994) and higher education increased the salience of ethnic identities in the Soviet Union (Kaiser 1994, p. 235). According to the same line of explanation, it is not unexpected that the demand for independence arose first in the most resourceful Union Republics of the Soviet Union and not in the poorest (Emizet & Hesli 1995;Roeder 1991).…”

Love Thy Neighbor? Relationships between Religion and Racial Intolerance in Europe

Abstract:This article examines relationships between religion and racial intolerance across 47 countries by applying multi-level modeling to European survey data and is the first in-depth analysis of moderation of these relationships by European national contexts. The analysis distinguishes a believing, belonging, and practice-dimension of religiosity. The results yield little evidence of a link between denominational belonging, religious practice, and racial intolerance. The religiosity dimension that matters most for racial intolerance in Europe is believing: believers in a traditional God and believers in a Spirit/Life Force are decidedly less likely, and fundamentalists are more likely than non-believers to be racially intolerant. National contexts also matter greatly: individuals living in Europe's most religious countries, countries with legacies of ethnic-religious conflict and countries with low GDP are significantly more likely to be racially intolerant than those living in wealthier, secular and politically stable countries. This is especially the case for the religiously devout.2
