Abstract: |
The
paper describes an agent-based model of the escala-
tion of inner-state ethnic conflicts. Model
assumptions are derived from the case of the former Yugoslavia. To comprehend
the appearance of war crimes, the model refers to the concept of ethnic
norms. The cognitive complexity of norm emergence is
represented by using the simulation tool EMIL-S. The model consists of
two agent classes: politicians, who enforce value orienta-
tions, and citizens, who form paramilitary militia.
Simulation results confirm the feasibility of the theo-
retical approach. |
