National Identity - Science topic

To be honest, Margaret Canovan's 1996 book is more balanced and fairminded than much that has been penned about populism in the past 15 years. The tone of recent work about populism by academics placed political theorists borders on the paranoid and hysterical rather than anything that offers a valid understanding of either the phenomenon or the concept.

I strongly recommend Roger Eatwell and Matthew Goodwin's National Populism: The Revolt Against Liberal Democracy (2018). It is more political science analysis explaining the trends. Take a look at Matthew Goodwin's Values, Voice and Virtue (2023), which goes deeper into the issue of values that shape populist thinking in the UK context.

Positively - as a type of human consciousness and cultural self-realization.

The round table is a great idea! I'll be happy to participate in it. Thanks a lot for this initiative.

Yes, of course, I've heard about these planned exhibitions.

I've know about that approximately since 2012, but... :)

I'm also planning an interview with Prof. D. Lortkipanidze and other specialists and I hope it will be successful.

Thank you again for your initiative.

sincerely, G.M.

Overall, differences in values between groups holding distinct demographic characteristics are quite small (i.e., large between-group similarities). Here are a couple of studies with thousands of participants that might be relevant.

Gender: Schwartz & Rubel (2005)

Age: Robinson (2012). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5549227/

Country: Fischer & Schwartz (2011) https://doi.org/10.1177/0022022110381429 , Schwartz & Bardi (2001) http://jcc.sagepub.com/content/32/3/268

Education-level, income, religious denominations, age, gender, countries: Hanel et al. (2019) (Study 1 and Supplemental Study)

Dear Artem,

You can also check Anthropology Unmasked by Freed: a two volume history of the anthropology department in the American Museum of Natural History. Good luck with your research!

All the best,

Poets are public voices, many people can hear their thoughs that's why they can be strong influence in some crisis moments in a country, however some poets reflect the reality around, so can be influent for further generations; both cases promote massive reflexion. Music is every where, and help people to fell free when they take the music from composers to put in their own interior and build a peaceful reality inside into their own body and mind.

Savvas that's a great help and thank you.  The point about hard power is well made!

Dear Juraj,

I strongly recommend one of the latest and most comprehensive works on minorities (especially in socioligusitic and administrative aspect): Tomasz Wicherkiewicz,

Regionalne języki kolateralne Europy – porównawcze studia przypadku z polityki językowej, Poznań 2014 (a comparative study of Polish and other minorities) as well as the website:

I primarily recommended in my perception two valuable publication which definitely enlarge your intellectual horizon to tackle the issue.

Minority Rights in Central and Eastern Europe BASEES/Routledge series on Russian and East European studies Series editor: Richard Sakwa Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Kent First published by Routledge 2009

Minority Integration in Central Eastern Europe Between Ethnic Diversity and Equality Edited and introduced by Timofey Agarin and Malte Brosig Amsterdam - New York, NY 2009

Please, find attached files.

With best regards,

My answer may seem to be unusual since I'll approach the subject from a chemist's bird's eyes. In chemistry, we used to classify catalysts into (2) types: (i) Homogeneous (which means that the catalyst exists in the same phase as reactants). (ii) Heterogeneous (which indicates that the catalyst exists in a phase different from the phases of the reactants). This classification went on for years & is still adopted in general introductory courses.

Recently, progress in the field of catalysis increased the types to (4). The two additional types are: (iii) Homogeneously heterogenized catalysts. (iv) Heterogeneously homogenized catalysts.

Now, apply types (iii & iv) to answer the question about co-existence between nationalism and multiculturalism within a national state setting and there ought to be a way out from what appears to be a paradox. Human intelligence can work out a satisfactory resolution which is good for all provided that earnest intentions prevail.  

Dear Lisette,

I know this book by Erol Koroglu about WWI:

and this article about cartography by Bülent Batuman:

I hope they will be useful to you

I like your suggestion for the term "International students"  - very inclusive and friendly.

Thank you for reminding us that we are all 'one people'.

demarcation and pigeonholing them is far from justifiable , they tend to merge r, even harmonize and enhance one another, there are no ways to separate beauty of and persona, psyche and persona , these are only hackneyed expression made to make abstract intangible concepts more understandable , aside from this function, they don't seem to be licensed in the postmoderm world of relativist and antifoundationalism .

The International Social Survey Program ran two National Identity related surveys. One of them in 1995, and  another one in 2003. The batteries of questions asked measure both civic and ethnic national identity. It may be worth looking at to see if these measures apply in your context as well. 

A lot of scholarly articles about Europe and Canada have been published based on it. You may want to have a look a look at them as well.

Depends highly on your specific research questions, I d say. In any case I expect that lit on nationalism is important for this kind of phd i.e. the role of the media in constructing/reproducing the nation i.e. Billig's banal nationalism, Anderson's Imagined communities etc. Sorry I cant advice on lit associating in particular social media and nationalism. But there should be recent publications on sth similar. Maybe search in journals such as 'new media and society'. 

Creo que los movimientos separatistas o los movimientos de independencia, varían dependiendo del contexto en el que surgen y los motivos de sus orígenes. No obstante, debemos recordar que los estados nación como actualmente se les conoce, no son estados homogéneos, conformados en un periodo histórico de largo plazo o con el consentimiento e interés de todos los grupos involucrados. Los estados nación son producto de la conformación territorial delimitada por grupos de poder en un momento determinado, y que a lo largo de los años, no pudieron acallar, mitigar o integrar a las verdaderas identidades locales. Por ejemplo, en México existen más de 60 grupos originarios, distintos a la población mestiza dominante y se hablan más de 100 lenguas, además, hay muchas regiones en el país con particularidades culturales, económicas e históricas (de origen mestizo o moderno), que bien podrían determinar la conformación de muchos territorios independientes o separados, no obstante, creo que lo que aquí evita mayor efervescencia o un sentido de separación es la construcción sociopolítica, histórica y económica de los pueblos originarios (desde la conquista en los años 1500), la actual baja participación política que incluye el desinterés por una filiación nacional, la desigualdad y me atrevería a decir, el interés de mantener cohesionado un territorio (aunque no sus habitantes), por Estados Unidos y por los grupos fácticos de poder, destacando la delincuencia. Aun así, hay muchas expresiones de separación territorial y social, destacando EZLN, EPR, e incluso las actuales autodefensas que luchan contra la delincuencia...

I think the separatist movements or independence movements, vary depending on the context in which they arise and the reasons for its origins. However, we must remember that nation states as they are now known, are not homogeneous states, formed a long-term historical period or with the consent and interest of all stakeholders. Nation states are the product of territorial conformation defined by power groups at a given time, and that over the years, could not quell, mitigate or integrate real local identities. For example, in Mexico there are more than 60 indigenous groups, other than the dominant mestizo population and over 100 languages are spoken in addition, there are many regions in the country with particular cultural, economic and historical (or modern mestizo origin), which could well determine the composition of many independent or separate territories, however, I think that here avoids more excitement or a sense of separation is the socio-political, historical and economic construction of indigenous peoples (from the conquest in the 1500s), the current low political participation including the lack of a national affiliation, inequality and dare I say, the interest of maintaining cohesive territory (but not its inhabitants), the United States and the factual power groups, highlighting crime . Still, there are many expressions of territorial and social separation, highlighting EZLN, EPR, and indeed the self-defense fighting crime

In Jordan, Minstry of Education started educated "Civil Education"as part of the curriculum for basic grades (1st to 10th grade". Trying building the values and civic concepts among students related to the country "commitment, loyalty, human rights,..."

Even at University level there is a course "National -Civic- Education", it is a compulsary course for all students.

I think it is still a baby step toward building the commitment and loyaltyg toward their home country.

Yes, Lluis, I agree with that view that we are quite far from having it liquidated. We may never reach that point also, but then who knows what the future holds?

By your observation above, you added an interesting dimension to the discussion. For the sake of the discussion I am taking the caption that appears on the UN website: It's your world! Five or six decades ago we did not talk of one world. We talked of peace, prevention of war, sovereignty and freedom. Six decades down the line we talk of one world - our world. We talk more of compliance with international law than domestic law. We criticise countries for not complying with international norms and laws and even intervene into their sovereign space to uphold 'one world' norm, however blusteringly we do it.

Since we appear to be moving, however hesitantly, towards the one world norm, will this notion of nationalism become redundant at some point of time? Or, just because we can not do without our cultural and national identity, further movements towards 'one world' norm will become cause for clashes between national entities?

As a minimum definition, I would suggest the famous speech by Ernest Renan "What is a nation?". Nevertheless, cultural diversity (I would prefer the term plurality or pluralism) always puts into question the idea of a nation and makes belonging a complicated issue. For this complex, Kymlicka would be one theorist offering some solutions. Nevertheless, up-to-now, I did not find a conception of an "open" nation or a diverse nation-state that would convince me...

I don't know if you have it in english, but you can read "El Separatista" (the separatist) by Eduardo López Bago; it relates about the last years of the spanish colony of Cuba. From Spain, you have the "National episodes" by Benito Pérez Galdós; it's 46 novels, some of them translated in english.

My advise is to check upon life of Guiseppe Garibaldi, for instance. He was the personification of that time hero, a trully ideal of tangible utopia and also self promoted liberator of the two worlds personage that binded the so mixedup Italy towards (re)union, but also lives in the 'imaginario' of southerbrazilians and uruguaians.
