It is important when analyzing such a theme as the politicization of ethnicity to examine how this phenomenon is linked to the outbreak of conflicts. At the same time, it is also essential to analyze the theoretical background of this research study in order to facilitate an easier understanding of the empirical analysis afterwards. For this reason, this chapter will focus on two theoretical approaches of ethnicity, instrumentalism and primordialism, which will be used as guidelines in testing and analyzing the empirical case study.
