It critiques the international community's approach to promoting multicultural inclusion as a solution to inter-ethnic conflict, emphasizing that the imposition of foreign norms often fails to achieve the intended equality among diverse ethnic groups. The analysis reveals that political circumstances and the dynamics of national minorities significantly influence the effectiveness of recognition theories and the pursuit of rights.
