EUROPE RISING (AGAIN): A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE DYNAMICS AND TYPES OF MODERN EUROPEAN NATIONALISMS, 1989-2018 by Tímea Varga A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School, the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Social Science and Global Studies at The University of Southern Mississippi in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Approved by: Dr. Joseph J. St. Marie, Committee Chair Dr. Robert J. Pauly, Jr. Dr. Tom Lansford Dr. Iliyan Iliev ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ Dr. Joseph J. St. Marie Dr. Edward Sayre Dr. Karen S. Coats Committee Chair Director of School Dean of the Graduate School August 2019 COPYRIGHT BY Tímea Varga 2019 Published by the Graduate School ABSTRACT Nationalism is nothing new to Europe. While theoretical explanations of the catalysts of post-1989 European nationalist phenomena remain contested along material and non-material lines, this dissertation posits that it is the interaction of economic insecurities, societal fears, and populism over time that have shaped the rise and types of post-1989 European nationalisms. Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) is combined with a collective case study design to examine: 1) how forces – political, economic, societal, or other – have dominated the formation and latest surge of European nationalisms since the end of European Communism in 1989; and 2) whether different, context-dependent types of European nationalisms exist as a result. The five cases examined – Germany, Italy, Hungary, Ireland, and Sweden – extend the scope of earlier methodological efforts by: 1) recognizing the intersectionality of economic, societal, and political variables; and 2) are geographically, economically, culturally and politically representative of all Europe. Findings indicate that while modest generalizations across the cases can be drawn, there is no universal trend or type of post-1989 European nationalism. This is because national identities and their expressions depend critically on the claims people attach to them in different economic, cultural, and political contexts and times. Thus, nationalism – its origins, dynamics, and types – are unique, evolutionary, and context-dependent. With some historic and symbolic features that are continuous, they adapt to transforming landscapes to guarantee a sense or perception of belonging, national self-determination, and economic, cultural, and political autonomy. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This doctoral journey and dissertation would not have been possible without the love and support of several influential people.

  • Remaking Italy? Place Configurations and Italian Electoral Politics Under the ‘Second Republic’
    Modern Italy Vol. 12, No. 1, February 2007, pp. 17–38 Remaking Italy? Place Configurations and Italian Electoral Politics under the ‘Second Republic’ John Agnew The Italian Second Republic was meant to have led to a bipolar polity with alternation in national government between conservative and progressive blocs. Such a system it has been claimed would undermine the geographical structure of electoral politics that contributed to party system immobilism in the past. However, in this article I argue that dynamic place configurations are central to how the ‘new’ Italian politics is being constructed. The dominant emphasis on either television or the emergence of ‘politics without territory’ has obscured the importance of this geographical restructuring. New dynamic place configurations are apparent particularly in the South which has emerged as a zone of competition between the main party coalitions and a nationally more fragmented geographical pattern of electoral outcomes. These patterns in turn reflect differential trends in support for party positions on governmental centralization and devolution, geographical patterns of local economic development, and the re-emergence of the North–South divide as a focus for ideological and policy differences between parties and social groups across Italy. Introduction One of the high hopes of the early 1990s in Italy was that following the cleansing of the corruption associated with the party regime of the Cold War period, Italy could become a ‘normal country’ in which bipolar politics of electoral competition between clearly defined coalitions formed before elections, rather than perpetual domination by the political centre, would lead to potential alternation of progressive and conservative forces in national political office and would check the systematic corruption of partitocrazia based on the jockeying for government offices (and associated powers) after elections (Gundle & Parker 1996).

    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by European Yearbook of Minority Issues, available online: https://doi.org/10.1163/22116117_01701010 The 2018 South Tyrolean Election and the Consociational System of Democracy: Stability amidst Change? Matthias Scantamburlo (Aston University) Abstract: This article explores the impact of the 2018 South Tyrolean election on the autonomous province’s consociational system of democracy. Implemented to tame centrifugal tendencies between the territory’s language groups (German, Italian and Ladin), this system has since the 1990s been losing its inclusive capacity. While the Italian-speaking electorate has increasingly been underrepresented in the main decision-making processes, the German-speaking intra-ethnic electoral arena experienced the rise of secessionist parties. The article shows that, despite major changes affecting party politics in South Tyrol, the outcome of the 2018 election contributed to restore stability to the consociational system. Keywords: territorial politics – ethnic politics – consociationalism – regional elections – South Tyrol Matthias Scantamburlo is postdoctoral researcher at Aston University (Birmingham) and team member of the Regional Manifestos Project at the University of Deusto (Basque Country). I. INTRODUCTION The election to the provincial council, the Landtag, of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano/South Tyrol (hereafter South Tyrol), held on 21 October 2018, resulted in a major shift of power and important changes in the province’s consociational political system. The South Tyrolean Peoples’ Party (SVP), the main representative of the German- and Ladin-speaking minorities and regional key power player since 1945, for the first time in its history forms a government with an Italian-speaking right-wing party, the populist (Northern) League (LN).

  • Rethinking Europe's External Relations in an Age of Global Turmoil: an Introduction Abstract Keywords
    Rethinking Europe’s external relations in an age of global turmoil: An introduction ROBERT FALKNER London School of Economics and Political Science [email protected] Published in International Politics 54(4): 389-404 Abstract The outlook for Europe's external relations has never looked so uncertain in the post- cold war era. A series of internal and external shocks – from the Eurozone crisis to the UK’s Brexit referendum and civil wars and external interventions on Europe’s borders – have shaken the EU to its foundations. Against a backdrop of external insecurity and global power shifts abroad, and institutional crisis and strategic drift at home, this article introduces the main themes and questions that guide the contributions to this special issue: First, how have recent transformations of the international system – declining Western dominance, a shift from unipolarity to multipolarity, and the return of geopolitical competition – affected Europe’s search for stability, security and influence in global affairs? Second, how have external perceptions of the EU's position, power and influence in global affairs changed in recent years, particularly in response to ongoing crises in the EU’s internal governance? And third, how can the EU respond to the dramatically altered external environment and newly arising threats, and to what extent does the new EU Global Strategy of 2016 meet the challenges that the continent faces? Keywords European foreign policy; EU Global Strategy; Brexit; Geopolitics; Multipolarity; European integration; EU external relations 1 Introduction The outlook for Europe's external relations has never looked so uncertain in the post- cold war era.
