    Annotation This article discusses the causation between forms of government, on the one hand, and ethnic conflicts, on the other. This topic has received small attention in political science. The article gives a critical review of academic discussions on the causation between ethnic conflicts and forms of government. How to calm ethnic conflict through combination of institutions which represent ethnic groups interests and provide peaceful ethnic dialogue? Which institutional design prevents ethnic conflicts? Prevention and calming ethnic conflicts are the functions of political institutions in a multi-ethnic society. Calming ethnic conflict could be both providing in institutional and non-institutional manner. Form of government is the institutional mechanism for calming ethnic conflicts (along with the decentralization of power and the electoral system). Empirical and theoretical observations show that ethnic conflict is more likely to happen in parliamentary systems than in presidential systems, but other political institutions' arrangements are important too. Authors present empirical and theoretical arguments for supporting that conclusion.
