Notwithstanding the general persuasiveness of Liah Greenfeld's contrary position, I shall treat ethnic conflict and nationalism as if they were more or less synonymous. They are not, of course, but they do derive from kindred emotions, representing more or less similar challenges to the international order. It is possible to think of barbarous nationalism as a more evolved form of ethnic conflict. See Liah Greenfeld, 1992), 12. But cf. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Pandaemonium: Ethnicity in International Relations (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 197.

Stanley Hoffmann also considers this type of analysis to be applied ethics. He writes: “We all know that no ‘ought’ can be simply and directly derived from an ‘is.’ What we have now tells us how difficult it is to go beyond—indeed, how easily things might get worse. It does not tell us where we ought to go.” Stanley Hoffmann
