A common premise in ethnic conflict studies is that nationalism is caused by cultural traits, such as long>anong>guage or religion, or is a result ong>ofong> a region's subservient ong>economicong> role vis-a-vis ong>theong> country's core.

Thus, nationalism, Barreto contends, is ong>anong> unong>anong>ticipated reaction to ong>theong> exclusionary attitudes ong>anong>d policies ong>ofong> one group against ong>anong>oong>theong>r.
