Ethnic Conflict in the Modern World-System: The Dialectics of Counter-Hegemonic Resistance in an Age of Transition

Abstract: This article recasts debates about the extent and causes of ethnic con?ict within the world-system framework. Ethni?cation and indigenism are inherent structural contradictions of the modern world-system, and there is the highest incidence of ethnic resistance at the peak of a hegemon’s ascendancy. Consequently, there has not been a dramatic increase in ethnic con?ict since the end of the Cold War. However, ethnic mobilizations pose an increased challenge to the continued functioning of the world-system during… Show more

“…Com isso, é importante lembrar que a ideia de resistência contra--hegemônica faz parte do conjunto de comportamentos antissistêmicos de referência encontrado na literatura que compartilha a matriz teórica do sistema-mundo, como, por exemplo, as ideias de manifestação, de mobilização e de movimento antissistêmicos, todos conceitos derivados da perspectiva teórico-metodológica do sistema-mundo (Fotopoulos, 2001;Dunaway, 2003;Rojas, 2010). O panorama subjacente à constituição desse conjunto de conceitos pretende, por um lado, aglutinar sob uma única denominação constructos de práticas de contestação, resistência e repúdio à opressão e à exploração sistêmicas, bem como aos diferentes graus de organização e persistência desses comportamentos, nos moldes daquela unificação que Wallerstein organizou quando concebeu o conceito de movimento antissistêmico a partir da junção dos movimentos sociais e nacionais.…”
