The Dynamics of the Politicization of Ethnicity as the Cause of Conflicts in Nigeria -- Religious Crises: Shedding of Blood, Killings and Terrorism in God's Name -- The Politics of Terror and Islamization Process of Boko Haram -- Multinational Firms and Conflicts: Failure of Corporate Social Responsibility -- Case Studies: Introduction of Contemporary Jos Conflicts and Warri Crise.

In view of the explosion of violent conflicts in many parts of the world and the hasty, but prevailing, assumption that ethnicity is the source of these conflicts, this book is encompassed to highlight, describe and examine how ethnicity is politicized in many of these current conflicts. By deploying the instrumentalist approach and the theory of identity and difference in ethnicity, the author identifies the actors involved and depicts how religion is exploited as an instrument of division by reflecting it on the Nigerian situation, exploring the examples of the Jos conflicts and the Warri Crisis within a twenty years period, 1990 to 2010.
