Dve tváre etnického konfliktu v postkomunistickej Európe
Two faces of ethnic conflict in postcommunist Europe

Summary/Abstract: Situation after the breakdown of the totalitarian political systems is characterized by a surge in nationalism and its exploitation in political relations between nations inhabiting former communist countries. In some areas of the post-communist territory, political frickles have changed into hot ethnic conflicts. The author compares two post-communist regions: East Central Europe with latent ethnic conflict, and Southeastern Europe, where the demise of communism has been accompanied by three bloody ethnic wars. The paper is aiming to understand the reasons of such crucial difference in two neighbouring regions.
