Abstract: This research examines the policies of ethnic diversity management, which emerged as a socio-political phenomenon in the post-cold war era, directly influencing events within the social system. Ethnic diversity can be a natural and positive phenomenon, serving as a source of social, cultural, intellectual, and economic enrichment for the state if managed through appropriate policies and strategies, as seen in Malaysia. Conversely, it can become a serious challenge threatening the state's survival due to political system weaknesses, its inability to address various ethnic demands, as observed in Ethiopia, or due to ideological or doctrinal rejection. Additionally, ethnic conflict can escalate when a dominant ethnic group takes control of the political system and oppresses other groups that challenge its leadership position. External interventions often play a key role in intensifying such conflicts by supporting specific factions to serve external interests.
