Ethnic relations is a field of study that focuses on the relationships and interactions between different ethnic groups within a society. This research area examines the ways in which individuals from different ethnic backgrounds perceive each other, interact, and coexist within a shared social environment. It also explores the impact of historical events, cultural differences, and social norms on the dynamics of ethnic relations. Scholars in this field seek to understand issues such as tolerance, prejudice, discrimination, and conflict resolution between ethnic groups, as well as the formation of ethnic identities and the construction of ethnic boundaries. Overall, the study of ethnic relations aims to promote understanding, cooperation, and social cohesion among diverse ethnic communities.
