Title The Devil is in the Details: Framing in Ethnic Conflicts
Summary In this paper I use frame analysis to compare two de facto states, Kosovo and Abkhazia. Frame analysis has been used to study social movements and can been used to evaluate mobilization in ethnic conflicts but they have not been used to examine ethnic conflicts in de facto states, particularly Kosovo and Abkhazia. However, Kosovo’s independence is recognized by the international community while Abkhazia’s is not. I will use frame analysis to examine the micro-processes of the two de facto states’ ethnic conflicts in order to examine the how actors mobilize and demobilize the masses, to identify those actors and the constraints they face when mobilizing.
