This chapter provides details on how the concept of “ethnic recognition” is defined and measured in a dataset of conflict-affected countries between 1990 and 2012. It compares and contrasts ethnic recognition to other related concepts, such as informal recognition and factional power sharing. Using the dataset, the chapter presents trends over time and across regions in the adoption of ethnic recognition in constitutions and comprehensive political settlements. It shows that ethnic recognition has been a common strategy in recent decades, with an overall adoption rate of approximately 40 percent. While rates of adoption have been relatively consistent over time, there are important regional differences in rates of recognition.

The Conclusion returns to the guiding questions introduced in the Introduction, looking at the way in which the book’s chapters answered them. As such, it identifies recurring themes, experiences, structures, motives, and trends over time. By summarizing the result of the chapters’ research into the interaction between the Secretaries-General and the Security Council, some lessons are identified on the changing calculus of appointments, the conditions and relevance of the international context, the impact of different personalities in that interaction, the changes in agenda and composition of the Council as well as different formats of interaction and different challenges to be met in the realm of peace and security, administration, and reform, as well as concepts and norms. Taken together, they also illustrate the potential and limitations of UN executive action.
