metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Prevention and ethnic conflicts resolution is an urgent task both at the level of theory and
  political practice. To solve it, institutional measures are used, including the design of a form
  of government. The purpose of the article is to determine the state of study of the problem of
  the relationship between forms of government and ethnic conflicts, mainly in contemporary foreign political science. The author proceeds from the idea that the form of government
  as an institutional structure affects the emergence, flow, and termination of ethnic conflicts,
  but at the same time it should be considered as one of the variables along with the electoral
  system and form of government. The article notes the contradictory nature of the theoretical
  positions of supporters of different approaches — consociationalism centripetalism and
  power-dividing approach. The most common point of view that a parliamentary system is
  more suitable for a multi-ethnic society is criticized. The author emphasizes the importance
  of conscious design of forms of government, aimed at abandoning the “pure” presidential
  and parliamentary systems and the creation of atypical institutions, which are given some
  attention in the article. Empirical studies using statistical methods have been carried out in
  recent years to identify the relationship between forms of government and ethnic conflicts.
  The author evaluates them and introduces the reader to the results of his own research using
  correlation and regression analysis. He concludes that the hypothesis about the influence
  of the form of government on ethnic conflicts requires further empirical testing on a large
  array of cases over a long period of time. At the end of the article, an analysis is given of the
  main methodological problems that researchers face when conducting a comparative study
  of ethnic conflicts and their relationship with political institutions. The author concludes that
  the problem of the relationship between forms of government and ethnic conflicts has not yet
  been resolved in political science.
