The International Dimensions of Nationalism in Central Asia The International Dimensions of Nationalism in Central Asia: Can the Relationship Between International Security, State Sovereignty and Emerging Ethnonationalism be Reconciled in Post-Soviet Central Asia? Connor Dilleen PhD International Relations 2005 Abstract The thesis tracks the emergence of western forms of nationalism in republics of Post- Soviet Central Asia, and assesses the likelihood of ethnic conflict in the region, and its probably consequences. It also considers the means by which the heterogenous populations in Central Asia may be more effectively accommodated within the individual republics. The thesis is conceived in three sections. The first section examines the causes and consequences of ethnic conflict, and discusses the implications of ethnic conflict in Central Asia from the perspective of state sovereignty and international security. The second section assesses the evolution of ethnicity and identity in Central Asia, the impact of Soviet nationalities policies and the impact of newly enforceable territorial sovereignty on the interconnected populations of the region. The third, and concluding, section considers the impact of state actors and regional and international institutions on the Central Asian republics, and considers strategies that may mitigate the potential for ethnic conflict in the region. The thesis concludes that emerging ethnonationalism in Post-Soviet Central Asia poses a real threat to regional and international security. The individual republics are pursuing policies which discriminate against large proportions of their populations. The Central Asian republics are also struggling with their newly found sovereignty, especially in respect to their asymmetrical relationships with states such as Russia, China and the U.S.A. The republics should consider alternative forms of governance, such as national cultural autonomy or consociation, which may contribute to a lessening of the tensions between ethnic or identity groups. The international community, in the form of the United Nations or other appropriate organisations, should recognise the potential for ethnic conflict in the region, and should actively encourage the states to adopt innovative forms of government that accommodate the diverse needs of their heterogenous populations.

  • Thank You Mr. Moderator. I Am Nuriddin Rizoyi, From
    Thank you Mr. Moderator. I am Nuriddin Rizoyi, From Tajikistan, head of foreign affairs of Political movement “Group 24”. According to today’s topic I would like to focus on the “Rights of persons belonging to national minorities” - Although oppressions and injustices are happening over all societies in Tajikistan, but the national minority in the region of Badakhshan is in a very bad situation for a long time and still it’s going on. The “Kūhistoni Badakhshon” autonomous region located in the east of Tajikistan in the Pamir Mountains, it makes up 45% of the land area of the country. The population is almost 218,000. The main ethnic group are Pamiris. The largest city is Khorugh. They have their own language, it called Pamiris. The majority religion is Ismaili Shi'ite and adherence to the Aga Khan is widespread. Although Badakhshan is Semi-independent, but unfortunately its people have no any contribution in their destiny. For example: 1. Head of province elected by the President, not by the people. 2. Despite the existence of a local parliament, but without any authority. 3. It is one of the richest areas by its natural resources in the world, but unfortunately the people of this region are deprived of all those resources. 4. The majority of the new generation of Badakhshan is among the rest of the Tajik youth in Russia working as a labor. 5. The central government does not give serious attention and not care toward this region, the evidence of the mentioned is lack of factories and industries. 6.

  • UZBEK WOMEN and the IMAGINING of UZBEKISTAN in the 1920S
    Int. J. Middle East Stud. 34 (2002), 263–278. Printed in the United States of America Marianne Kamp PILGRIMAGE AND PERFORMANCE: UZBEK WOMEN AND THE IMAGINING OF UZBEKISTAN IN THE 1920s In August 1924, Anabibi Safaeva set off from her home city of Khiva, which was then the capital of the Xorezm People’s Republic, to study in Tashkent, which was the administrative center of the Turkistan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Safaeva traveled with some 160 students in a convoy of three boats down the Amu River toward the Aral Sea. However, misfortune befell Safaeva: her boat was attacked by basmachis, a bandit or rebel gang.1 The basmachis killed all twenty-two of the men in Safaeva’s group and carried off the women as captives. By the time that Safaeva was rescued, more than two months later, there was no longer a Xorezm People’s Republic or a Turkistan Republic; instead, Safaeva’s Khivan home was now in Uzbek- istan, and Tashkent, the goal of her academic pilgrimage, had become the capital of Uzbekistan. Safaeva waited for several years after her abduction before attempting to travel to Tashkent again, finally going there in 1927 to study at the Central Asian Communist University.2 She worked for the Communist Party of Uzbekistan as an activist in the Tashkent regional Women’s Division while she was studying, and in 1931 she was sent by the party to Uzbekistan’s Bukhara province to participate in the collectivization of agriculture. There she was poisoned, presumably by someone who opposed the state’s appropriation of land.3 Anabibi Safaeva was one of thousands of young women who joined in what Bene- dict Anderson refers to as the pilgrimage of modern education.

  • Changing Ethnic Boundaries
    Changing Ethnic Boundaries: Politics and Identity in Bolivia, 2000–2010 Submitted by Anaïd Flesken to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Ethno–Political Studies in October 2012 This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other university. Signature: …………………………………………………………. Abstract The politicization of ethnic diversity has long been regarded as perilous to ethnic peace and national unity, its detrimental impact memorably illustrated in Northern Ireland, former Yugo- slavia or Rwanda. The process of indigenous mobilization followed by regional mobilizations in Bolivia over the past decade has hence been seen with some concern by observers in policy and academia alike. Yet these assessments are based on assumptions as to the nature of the causal mechanisms between politicization and ethnic tensions; few studies have examined them di- rectly. This thesis systematically analyzes the impact of ethnic mobilizations in Bolivia: to what extent did they affect ethnic identification, ethnic relations, and national unity? I answer this question through a time-series analysis of indigenous and regional identification in political discourse and citizens’ attitudes in Bolivia and its department of Santa Cruz from 2000 to 2010. Bringing together literature on ethnicity from across the social sciences, my thesis first develops a framework for the analysis of ethnic change, arguing that changes in the attributes, meanings, and actions associated with an ethnic category need to be analyzed separately, as do changes in dynamics within an in-group and towards an out-group and supra-group, the nation.

  • Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov
    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Gonzalez-Fuentes, M. Millennials’ Consumer Identities 1 MILLENNIALS’ NATIONAL AND GLOBAL IDENTITIES AS DRIVERS OF MATERIALISM AND CONSUMER ETHNOCENTRISM Mario V. Gonzalez-Fuentes, Trinity University. Abstract A major effect of globalization is one that occurs on the self-concept. This is especially the case for young consumers and particularly for millennials. Despite this cohort’s idiosyncrasies, little attention has been paid to the study of their consumer identities, an important aspect of self-concept. The current research addresses this gap by examining the way millennial consumers’ global and national identities help explain two attitudinal outcomes associated with globalization: materialism and consumer ethnocentrism. Data were collected from millennials in two distinct socio-cultural contexts. A key finding suggests that distinct contexts (i.e., collectivist and ethnically homogeneous vs.

  • Conceptual and Methodological Issues in the Use of Race As a Variable: Policy Implications
    Conceptual and Methodological Issues in the Use of Race as a Variable: Policy Implications DORIS Y. WILKINSON and GARY KING University of Kentucky; Westat, Inc. he classification of populations into discrete categories based on phenotypic or genotypic criteria is an accepted Tpractice in the physical and social sciences. In attempting to explain diverse physical characteristics and sociogeographical experiences among populations, the term “ race** has been employed for taxonomic purposes. In most scientific research, however, controversy and confusion have surrounded its use (Fortney 1977). For many scientists such as biologists, geneticists, and physical anthropologists, definitions have consisted primarily o f biological subject matter (e.g., gene pools, blood type, skin color). Social scientists, in contrast, have used the term to refer to behavioral practices (e .g ., cultural patterns, language), social factors (e.g., stratification, income status, discrimination) as well as phenotypic characteristics (e.g. hair texture, skin color, facial features). Yet, neither the biological nor sociological approach to racial classification is devoid o f serious theoretical and methodological shortcomings. Depending on the contextual application, the classification, definition, and recording o f data by race have important implications for health research and health policy. The social science translation has involved considerable complexity and varied theoretical and empirical emphases. Although the concept permeates social and behavioral science as well as epidemiologic research, its meaning is rarely specific or precise with respect to its components and the possible consequences of defining it in a particular way. The Milbank Quarterly, Vol. 65, Suppl. 1, 1987 © 1987 Milbank Memorial Fund . 56 The Use of Race as a 'Variable 57 Moreover, in examining human genetics and the racial proclivity for certain diseases, it is recognized that races are highly heterogeneous categories (McKusick 1969).
