 [No title]
And Iberall and Cardon (1973:38-40) have found a discontinuity in the size distribution of societies described in Murdock's Ethnographic Atlas (1967) which suggests that between society-sizes of about 2000 and 7000 persons there is an instability boundary, cusp, or bifurcation locus that separates two different sorts of societies.
One, with tens and hundreds of members, is characteristically an isolated monoculture with small- organization stability that expands demographically by fission and diffusion through space at basically constant density (Iberall and Wilkinson 1984a), culturally homogenous within and varying slightly across immediate boundaries.
Cities are then herein the first defining criterion of a civilization, or rather of "civilization." The second criterion, which allows us to distinguish a plurality of societies as "civilizations," is that of internal politico-military interaction, and external politico-military isolation.

 The Causes and Prevention of Violent Conflict   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Rather it is the particular demographic mix of different ethnic groups which is likely to have an impact on whether or not violence is more or less probable.
There are more violent conflicts in those countries which have ethnic, racial or national minorities of more than 30% with a very rapid rise in those with more than 50%.
The demographics of Burundi, for example, and the concentration of economic and political power in the hands of the Tutsi generate a strong disposition towards violence either (a) to protect power and privilege or (b) to challenge such power and privilege.
