Denne artikel diskuterer to modstridende forståelser af sammenhængen mellem etniske gruppeidentiteter og borgerkrig. Den første fokuserer på variationen mellem forskellige identitetstyper med den forventning, at religiøse og racemæssige skel er særligt konfliktskabende. Ifølge den anden forståelse har etniske grupper generelt tætte sociale netværk, og deres motiver og muligheder for at kæmpe påvirkes af deres politiske status og ressourcer frem for deres specifikke identitetstyper. Ved hjælp af statistisk analyse viser artiklen, at sandsynligheden for borgerkrigsudbrud ikke påvirkes af, hvorvidt etniske grupper primært er mobiliseret omkring religiøse, sproglige, racemæssige eller regionale skel. Analysen finder således støtte til, at forskellige typer af etniske grupper kan sidestilles når det studeres, hvorfor nogle politiske konflikter udvikler sig voldeligt.
