Il est temps d'élire le nouveau président du Club des Chats du Quartier. Qui gagnera les élections? Le candidat choisi par les chats du côté droit de la rue? Ou celui des chats du côté gauche? Quand le grand jour arrive, un candidat (devinez qui?) se rend compte qu'il ne s'est même pas inscrit sur les listes électorales. Le résultat des élections pourrait bien surprendre Méchant Minou. Tout se jouera sur le dernier bulletin, envoyé à la dernière minute par un vieux minou.

"Why does ethnic violence break out in some places and not others? More important, why do some governments try to prevent antiminority riots while others do nothing, or even actively encourage attacks? This book answers these questions through a detailed study of Hindu-Muslim riots in India, as well as case studies of Ireland, Malaysia, and Romania. It shows how electoral incentives at two levels interact to explain both where violence breaks out and, more importantly, why some states decide to prevent mass violence and others do not. While developing this electoral incentives model, the author shows why several alternative explanations for ethnic violence - focusing on town-level social and economical factors, the weak capacity of the Indian state, or India's alleged lack of "consociational power sharing"--Cannot explain the observed variation in Hindu-Muslim riots."--Jacket.
