Ethnic and Religious Composition: T

Ethnic and Religious Composition: The more diverse a country is, in terms of ethnic
and religious composition, the more will be internal strife and political instability.
These internal strife and political instability can lead to violent conflicts and even self
destructive wars which would cause waste of valuable resources which could
definitely be used to promote other valuable development goals. E.g., Afghanistan,
Sri Lanka, Bosnia, Zaire, etc. In general, the more homogeneous a country is the
easier it is for that country to become successful in their development effort. E.g.,
Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong
