Chapter Chapter 7 in Inequality, Polarization and Conflict, 2015, pp 109-120 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Inequality in income distribution in a country has often been regarded as one of the determinants of social conflict. The index of fractionalization has been widely used in different studies to link ethno-linguistic diversity to conflict, growth, or public good provision. The subject of Chap. 7 is a study on the effects of inequality, fractionalization, and polarization on social conflict. There is a rigorous discourse on the relationship between fractionalization, inequality, and polarization. The role of inequality, polarization, and fractionalization in conflict is examined in a broad structure.
