By glorifying the history, myths, and attributes of a national group while marginalizing or dehumanizing excluded groups, nationalism creates unbridgeable differences, irresolvable animosities, and perceived existential threats conducive to the outbreak of violence. Despite this argument’s widespread acceptance, the extant literature does not adequately theorize about or assess the relationship between nationalism and violent international conflict. Theorization has focused almost exclusively on the association between nationalism and the incidence of interstate violence, preventing the formulation of a comprehensive theory regarding nationalism’s impact on international conflict behavior. Furthermore, any insights derived from existing theories are dubious because they are supported mainly on the basis of a nonrandom sample of case studies. My dissertation addresses these problems in the literature. I first develop a comprehensive theory of the relationship between nationalism and international conflict behavior, specifically in terms of war initiation, severity, and duration. I argue that, in order to obtain mass cooperation, political elites embed their goals and the related policies in nationalist rhetoric and images. However, these “nationalist persuasion campaigns” can result in several mechanisms that promote long and deadly international conflict. Nationalism can provoke “national enemies” and their foreign allies, generate biased strategic assumptions, create domestic interest groups that favor war, permit the suppression of opposition groups, and promote “nationalist bidding wars” that bring about unexpectedly more aggressive military iii policies. It is possible that these mechanisms affect international conflict behavior to varying degrees depending on the form of nationalism present in a particular state. Therefore, I construct a series of hypotheses regarding the effect of four types of nationalism on three facets of international conflict behavior. In order to assess the accuracy of my argument and move beyond the qualitative techniques that have limited generalizability, I use original data on the existence and type of state-level nationalism from 1816 to 1991 and quantitative analysis (namely, summary statistics, cross-tabulations, and specialized regression models). I find that nationalism contributes to the initiation of more deadly conflicts, but not necessarily to longer wars. Nationalism significantly increases both the probability that a state will initiate an interstate war and the number of battle deaths the war will cause. There is greater uncertainty surrounding the effect of nationalism on interstate war duration. Nationalism in the initiator significantly decreases the length of war, while nationalism in the target significantly increases it, though only during the twentieth century. None of nationalism’s subtypes has an unambiguous effect on international conflict behavior that is consistent with the expected pattern of violent conflict. Given that nationalism encouraged the initiation of more lethal conflicts from 1816 to 1991, one may suspect that the international community might not have to concern itself as much in the future with the violent ramifications of nationalism due to increasing globalization. Yet, the empirical evidence described in the last part of my dissertation shows that this is not the case; national attachment and pride are still ubiquitous among individuals in more developed countries, due to perceived unsatisfactory economic conditions. Political leaders and the global community in general must then be cognizant of nationalism’s potentially violent consequences and support efforts to combat its divisiveness and prevent the accession of extreme-right parties. iv Otherwise, the possibility of extremely violent nationalist conflict and the ensuing human suffering remains. v Table of Contents List of Tables …………………………………………………………………………………...viii List of Figures ………………………………………………………………………………….....x Acknowledgements ………………………………………………………………………………xi Chapter 1.

    After Independence: Making and Protecting the Nation in Postcolonial and Postcommunist States Lowell W. Barrington, Editor http://www.press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=126246 The University of Michigan Press 11. Nationalism, Nation Making, & the Postcolonial States of Asia, Africa, & Eurasia RONALD GRIGOR SUNY I have benefited enormously from Lowell Barrington’s clarifying essays on ethnicity and nationalism. His distinction insisting on territorial- ity for the nation but not for ethnicity is very useful. At the same time, in our many discussions, I have argued that his de‹nition of the nation remains, for my money, too objectivist. So I have amended the de‹nitions he offers in his introductory chapter as a prelude to my own discussion of nationalism after independence. My additions are in brackets. “What makes nations different from other groups,” writes Barrington, “is that they are collectives [who feel they are] united by shared cultural features (such as language, myths, and values) and the belief in the right to territorial self-determination. Put another way, they are groups of people [who believe they are] linked by unifying cultural characteristics and the desire to con- trol a territory that is thought of as the group’s rightful homeland.” My amendments here are meant to emphasize the unease I have about too concrete a notion of “cultural features” or “cultural characteristics.” Having heard all my life about the importance of preserving ethnic culture and remaining unsure about what that entailed, I subscribe to a notion

Introduction Thiss chapter traces how the change brought about by the colonial imposition led to the primacyy of the public pursuit in Somali politics over a century. The colonial occupation of Somaliaa not only transformed the political economy of Somali society as transformationists emphasizee but also split the Somali people and their territories.74 Therefore, as I will argue in thiss study, the multiple partitioning of the country is one of the key determinants that fundamentallyy account for the destructive turn of events in Somalia at present.

  • Varieties of American Popular Nationalism.” American Sociological Review 81(5):949-980
    Bonikowski, Bart, and Paul DiMaggio. 2016. “Varieties of American Popular Nationalism.” American Sociological Review 81(5):949-980. Publisher’s version: http://asr.sagepub.com/content/81/5/949 Varieties of American Popular Nationalism Bart Bonikowski Harvard University Paul DiMaggio New York University Abstract Despite the relevance of nationalism for politics and intergroup relations, sociologists have devoted surprisingly little attention to the phenomenon in the United States, and historians and political psychologists who do study the United States have limited their focus to specific forms of nationalist sentiment: ethnocultural or civic nationalism, patriotism, or national pride. This article innovates, first, by examining an unusually broad set of measures (from the 2004 GSS) tapping national identification, ethnocultural and civic criteria for national membership, domain- specific national pride, and invidious comparisons to other nations, thus providing a fuller depiction of Americans’ national self-understanding. Second, we use latent class analysis to explore heterogeneity, partitioning the sample into classes characterized by distinctive patterns of attitudes. Conventional distinctions between ethnocultural and civic nationalism describe just about half of the U.S. population and do not account for the unexpectedly low levels of national pride found among respondents who hold restrictive definitions of American nationhood. A subset of primarily younger and well-educated Americans lacks any strong form of patriotic sentiment; a larger class, primarily older and less well educated, embraces every form of nationalist sentiment. Controlling for sociodemographic characteristics and partisan identification, these classes vary significantly in attitudes toward ethnic minorities, immigration, and national sovereignty. Finally, using comparable data from 1996 and 2012, we find structural continuity and distributional change in national sentiments over a period marked by terrorist attacks, war, economic crisis, and political contention.

  • Yugoslav Destruction After the Cold War
    STASIS AMONG POWERS: YUGOSLAV DESTRUCTION AFTER THE COLD WAR A dissertation presented by Mladen Stevan Mrdalj to The Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Political Science Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December 2015 STASIS AMONG POWERS: YUGOSLAV DESTRUCTION AFTER THE COLD WAR by Mladen Stevan Mrdalj ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University December 2015 2 Abstract This research investigates the causes of Yugoslavia’s violent destruction in the 1990’s. It builds its argument on the interaction of international and domestic factors. In doing so, it details the origins of Yugoslav ideology as a fluid concept rooted in the early 19th century Croatian national movement. Tracing the evolving nationalist competition among Serbs and Croats, it demonstrates inherent contradictions of the Yugoslav project. These contradictions resulted in ethnic outbidding among Croatian nationalists and communists against the perceived Serbian hegemony. This dynamic drove the gradual erosion of Yugoslav state capacity during Cold War. The end of Cold War coincided with the height of internal Yugoslav conflict. Managing the collapse of Soviet Union and communism imposed both strategic and normative imperatives on the Western allies. These imperatives largely determined external policy toward Yugoslavia. They incentivized and inhibited domestic actors in pursuit of their goals. The result was the collapse of the country with varying degrees of violence. The findings support further research on international causes of civil wars.

Mukhw Somalia has enjoyed a unique role in the history of African nationalism. As the only country in Africa whose population is vinually homogeneous, most speak a common language, all are Muslims and claim to be relaled to a common (or several common) distant ancestors. One might therefore expect thai its independence movement would have been more unified than those ofother African territories where tribal and regional differences came to be reflected in political party groupings after World War Il. Also Somalia was the only country to be partitioned seveml times: once at the end of the 19th century during the scramble for Africa and again in the 1940's following the break-up of the lIalian East African Empire. This would seem to have been another factor that unified Somalis in a sense ofcommon nationalism. However, the drive for Somali independence gave rise to not just one but several political parties. Were these panies based on regional or "tribal" differences of a particular Somali son? Did they have differtnt views ofSomali nationalism and self-government? These questions are difficuh to answer, not only because source materials are limited but also because one Somali party, the Somali Youth League (SYL), came to dominate the political scene in the 1950's and was the majority party at the time of Somali independence in 1960.

    Nationalism and identity Dr. Sylvie Bernard-Patel [email protected] Nationalism Both of the 'great discourses of modernity, liberalism and Marxism, led people to expect not the revival but the gradual disappearance of the nationalist passion' (Stuart Hall, 1992) Contemporary sociologists claim that a process of globalisation has been taking place National boundaries becoming less significant in social life: Communication systems (e.g. internet) transcend such boundaries World's financial market linked by technology Resurgence of nationalism in recent debates - individuals identify more with their nation than with any other grouping: Demands for independence by the Scottish and Welsh in Britain – the Basques in Spain and the Breton in France Nationalism was important following the collapse of the USSR with demands for independence for Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine among all other countries Former Yugoslavia saw violent civil war as Croatians, Serbs and Bosniacs fought for territory in future independent states Since World War II, every conflict defined itself in nationalist term – the end of the era of nationalism so preconided is not remotely in sight! Nationalism is the most universally legitimate value claimed in the political of our time Importance of nationalism cannot be neglected in social theory, as it becomes an important feature of social life and one that shows little sign of becoming less important!

  • (Ethnic) Nationalism. the Origins and Critique of the Dichotomy
    polish 3()’ 171 10 sociological review ISSN 1231 – 1413 KRZYSZTOF JASKUŁOWSKI Warsaw School of Social Sciences and Humanities Western (civic) versus Eastern (ethnic) Nationalism. The Origins and Critique of the Dichotomy Abstract: The author focuses on Hans Kohn (1891–1971) who is generally regarded as the founding father of modern Anglophone academic research on nationalism. He was first to adopt a more neutral stance toward nationalism, one that made sustained attempt at dispassionate analysis of the phenomenon in order to define, classify and explain it. However, not only did he bring in a innovative and novel perspective to the subject by producing broad comparative studies but he was responsible for introducing one of the basic and long-lasting themes to the study of nationalism, namely a strongly moralistic distinction between a good nationalism, which he associated with the West, and a bad nationalism allegedly typical for the non-Western world. The paper discusses three questions: first, how did Kohn conceptualize the differences between the two types of nationalism? Second, how and why did he come to his conclusions and, finally, if it can be argued as many authors claim, that his discrimination between the two types of nationalism are valid and useful? Keywords: Hans Kohn; nationalism; Eastern nationalism; ethnic nationalism; Western nationalism; civic nationalism; nationalism studies. Introduction Anglophone students of nationalism have recognized Hans Kohn (1891–1971) as one of the most learned and influential authorities on history of nationalism (Wolf 1976: 651; Kuzio 2002; Özkirimli 2000; Snyder 1995). Kohn’s works together with the writings of Carlton Hayes are generally regarded as a turning point in the study of nationalism in the English-speaking world.
