Popis: This study introduces an agent-based model of the interactions between members of an ethnically heterogeneous society, using inter-ethnic trust and trust based on transaction history as the explaining factors. Preliminary tests of the model dynamics show that single shocks to social and inter-ethnic trust do not destabilize society sufficiently to explain the outbreak of violence. They do however provide a tool for group leaders to engage themselves as catalysts of distrust.
