On the basis of a continuing study sponsored by the United States Institute of Peace, this essay addresses the role of religious and related forms of belief in the formation and mobilization of ethnic identity and nationalism. It is particularly concerned with the relationship of ethnic conflict to intolerance and discrimination, as defined by human rights standards. Drawing upon the work of Max Weber, and giving examples from case studies of Sri Lanka, Sudan, and Tibet, the essay proposes a partial explanation of the sources of intolerance.
