Framing Ethnic Issues Through the Notion of Discrimination: Th E Case of Russia Alexander Osipov * Framing Ethnic Issues through the Notion of Discrimination: Th e Case of Russia In recent decades, the notions of racism and discrimination have become some of the major frames of reference in addressing ethnicity-related issues worldwide. Narratives resting on the respective terminology do not look odd anymore in any country outside North America or Western Europe. Th is global shift prompts applying the same approach to Russia: the country has an ethnically diverse popu- lation; a ban on violation of equal rights is declared in the Constitution and national legislation; Russia bears international obligations concerning nondiscrimination, and international law still serves as a system of reference for the government and a large part of the general public; for decades social equality was an idol of the ruling communist party, and the vocabulary of equality penetrated numerous offi cial dec- larations; academia and legal professionals have no obstacles to being aware of the disputes about racism and discrimination outside the country. Th is article provides a brief overview of how the Russian society at large reacts to the phenomena that would be labeled racism or racial discrimination. Regretfully, the theme remains insuffi ciently studied so far; almost all of the few academic publications available are dedicated to ethnic violence and radi- cal nationalist activities.1 More clarity in addressing this general issue can be achieved by dividing it into several questions narrower in scope. Are interpretative schemes resting on the notions of racism and racial discrimination employed in Russia? What kinds of social phenomena become visible and thus publicly debated through these terminologies and explanatory frames? Do people follow alternative ways to describe and explain prejudices, aggression and inequalities on ethnic or * Alexander Osipov is a Senior Research Associate of the European Centre for Minor- ity Issues. 1 Marlene Laruelle, In the Name of the Nation: Nationalism and Politics in Contempo- rary Russia (Palgrave/MacMillan, New York, 2009); Michael McClintock, Everyday Fears: A Survey on Violent Hate Crimes in Europe and North America (Human Rights First, New York, Washington, D.C., 2005), 102-106; Anna Sevortian, “Xenophobia in Post-Soviet Russia”, 3 Th e Equal Rights Review (2009), 19-27.

Which manifestations are viewed as social problems under this or that descriptive model? What is the social context of these perceptions and respective reactions? To what extent and in what ways can conceptualisations and the respective policies used in Russia be compared with the approaches employed in the EU and North America? I. ‘Racism’ and ‘Discrimination’ as Practical Categories and Cognitive Tools Mapping the Russian case invites one to draw a parallel with ‘racisms’ or ‘counter- racisms’ in other regional or national frameworks, and this, in turn, raises ques- tions. In addressing ethnicity-related issues, Russia employs a blend of diff erent categorizations, and public discourses incorporate racial, ethnic, and ‘national’ (in the meaning of ethnic origin or ascribed ethnicity) terminology. Words like ‘racial’ and ‘racism’ are in use in Russia, although in a limited capacity with blurry and shifting meanings and basically remain unpopular. Russians prefer to speak about ‘ethnic discrimination’ or ‘national (with ethnic connotations) discrimination’. For this reason, the terms ‘ethnic’ and ‘racial’ discrimination will be employed here as full synonyms. Th e labels of racism and discrimination, once a ‘local knowledge’2 predomi- nantly in North America, have become an agenda actively pushed toward global acceptance;3 nevertheless, until recently, there was no uniformity in their interpre- tation and application in many respects; each term marked diff erent approaches and practices in numerous areas of human activity. Th e word ‘racism’ has been vaguely defi ned in a variety of ways and encompasses ideas, attitudes, and behav- iors such as hate speech, violence, and diff erential treatment of people.4 In most cases, the term is employed in civil activism and sociology of race relations and may mean the belief that socially relevant characteristics of human beings must be regarded as derivatives of their belonging to certain categories defi ned in terms of origin (often taken with biological connotations), phenotypic characteristics, 2 Cliff ord Geertz, Local Knowledge: Further Essays in Interpretive Anthropology (Basic Books, New York, 1983). 3 Pierre Bourdieu and Loïc J.

  • Ethnicity and Its Issues and Perspectives: a Critical Study
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 07, 2020 Ethnicity And Its Issues And Perspectives: A Critical Study Sanjay Kumar1, Dr. Gowher Ahmad Naik2 1Research Scholar, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Department of English 2Assistant Professor Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Department of English. Abstract: Ethnicity is a complex phenomenon. It is a highly controversial, disputable, problematic term that does not have any fixed meaning and is used as a less emotive term for a race. Ethnicity is a social construct like race, but the main difference is that race refers to phenotypical differences, whereas ethnicity refers to cultural differences. Ethnicity helps an individual to identify with a larger group, and one’s ethnicity may identify an individual. Too many writers like Max Weber, Michael Brown, Wsevolod Isajiw, etc. have discussed many features to define 'ethnicity.' To explain and outline an apparent meaning for ethnicity, authors like Fredrik Barth, Abner Cohen, Michael Hechter, etc. have postulated different approaches such as primordialism, instrumentalism, materialism and constructivism. Robert E. Park has contributed to the theory of ethnicity by focusing on assimilation theory. Authors like Omi and Vinant have openly opposed this theory and considered the immigrant as the basis of ethnicity. The chief motive of this paper is to discuss the shifting meanings of ethnicity and to depict the purpose behind the divisions based on ethnicity. Keywords: Race, Ethnicity, Classification, Primordialism, Instrumentalism. 1. INTRODUCTION Categorization is part of life. We classify people to gain access to them and to identify them quickly. Without classification, it would be difficult to define and identify worldly objects and human beings.

The Ethnic Security Dilemma and Ethnic Violence: An Alternative Empirical Model and its Explanatory Power Abstract Beginning in the 1990s, a trend of using the security dilemma to explain ethnic violence has emerged. However, previous research mainly focuses on individual cases with large-scale violence; whether ethnic security dilemma theory is a sound approach to explain less violent ethnic conflict remains unclear.

  • The Sociology of Ethnic Conflicts: Comparative International Perspectives
    Annual Review of Sociology Annual 1994 v20 p49(31) Page 1 The sociology of ethnic conflicts: comparative international perspectives. by Robin M. Williams Jr. Oppositions and deadly conflicts among ethnic collectivities are important around the world. Ethnies (our term for ethnic groups) also strongly affect interstate relations. Both interethnic and ethnic-state conflicts tend to be severe, protracted, and intractable. At the extremes, the stakes are total: survival versus genocide. Competition and rivalry for individualized economic and political goods are important, but the most intense conflicts are to be expected when the stakes are collective goods, including categorical claims to prestige and political authority. States are major actors in creating, accentuating, or diminishing ethnic identities. States are both arenas of rivalry and conflict and resources for ethnic mobilization and counter-mobilization. Because both ethnies and states are diverse, careful specification is required for fruitful analysis. The same dictum applies for the diverse types of oppositions and of conflicts. Ethnic conflicts arise from complex combinations of ethnic strength, class, inequality, political opportunity, mobilization resources, interdependence, and international interventions. Frequent but nonviolent protests, for example, are most likely by organized collectivities with substantial resources, operating in relatively open political systems. International aid to parties in domestic conflicts appears to prolong and intensify ethnic struggles. Research in this field contends with many difficulties, and one-sided theories do not fare well. Yet abundant descriptive materials are available, statistical techniques are improving, conceptual clarification continues, and substantive knowledge does accumulate. Accordingly, there is hope for better understanding of some of the most destructive and tragic conflicts of our times.

  • The Making and Unmaking of Ethnic Boundaries: a Multilevel Process Theory1
    The Making and Unmaking of Ethnic Boundaries: A Multilevel Process Theory1 Andreas Wimmer University of California, Los Angeles Primordialist and constructivist authors have debated the nature of ethnicity “as such” and therefore failed to explain why its charac- teristics vary so dramatically across cases, displaying different de- grees of social closure, political salience, cultural distinctiveness, and historical stability. The author introduces a multilevel process theory to understand how these characteristics are generated and trans- formed over time. The theory assumes that ethnic boundaries are the outcome of the classificatory struggles and negotiations between actors situated in a social field. Three characteristics of a field—the institutional order, distribution of power, and political networks— determine which actors will adopt which strategy of ethnic boundary making. The author then discusses the conditions under which these negotiations will lead to a shared understanding of the location and meaning of boundaries. The nature of this consensus explains the particular characteristics of an ethnic boundary. A final section iden- tifies endogenous and exogenous mechanisms of change. TOWARD A COMPARATIVE SOCIOLOGY OF ETHNIC BOUNDARIES Beyond Constructivism The comparative study of ethnicity rests firmly on the ground established by Fredrik Barth (1969b) in his well-known introduction to a collection 1 Various versions of this article were presented at UCLA’s Department of Sociology, the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies of the University of Osnabru¨ ck, Harvard’s Center for European Studies, the Center for Comparative Re- search of Yale University, the Association for the Study of Ethnicity at the London School of Economics, the Center for Ethnicity and Citizenship of the University of Bristol, the Department of Political Science and International Relations of University College Dublin, and the Department of Sociology of the University of Go¨ttingen.

Based upon our firm belief that our greatest asset as a foundation is our network of grantees, we wanted to link together the many different organizations whose work we are now supporting as part of a broad collective to remove the racial barriers that limit opportunities for vulnerable children. Our intention is to ensure that our grantees and the broader community can connect with peers, expand their perceptions about possibilities for their work and deepen their understanding of key strategies and tactics in support of those efforts. In 2011, we worked to build this community We believe in a different path forward.

  • Why Do Ethnic Groups Rebel? New Data and Analysis
    WHY DO ETHNIC GROUPS ReBEL? New Data and Analysis By LaRS-ERIK CedeRMAN, ANDREAS WIMMER, and BRIAN MIN* ESPITE its fundamental role in legitimizing the modern state Dsystem, nationalism has rarely been linked to the outbreak of po- litical violence in the recent literature on ethnic conflict and civil war. To a large extent, this is because the state is absent from many conven- tional theories of ethnic conflict. Indeed, some studies analyze conflict between ethnic groups under conditions of state failure, thus making the absence of the state the very core of the causal argument. Others assume that the state is ethnically neutral and try to relate ethnodemo- graphic measures, such as fractionalization and polarization, to civil war. In contrast to these approaches, we analyze the state as an institu- tion that is captured to different degrees by representatives of particular ethnic communities, and thus we conceive of ethnic wars as the result of competing ethnonationalist claims to state power. While our work relates to a rich research tradition that links the causes of such conflicts to the mobilization of ethnic minorities, it also goes beyond this tradition by introducing a new data set that addresses some of the shortcomings of this tradition. Our analysis is based on the Ethnic Power Relations data set (EPR ), which covers all politically relevant ethnic groups and their access to power around the world from 1946 through 2005. This data set improves significantly on the widely used Minorities at Risk data set, which restricts its sample to mobilized *Correspondence should be directed to Lars-Erik Cederman ([email protected]).

  • Dead Certainty: Ethnic Violence in the Era of Globalization
    Dead Certainty: Ethnic Violence in the Era of Globalization Arjun Appadurai Under what conditions is group violence between previous social intimates U associated with certain forms of uncertainty regarding ethnic identity? In sketching an approach to this question, I build on an argument against primor- dialism developed in a previous work (Appadurai 1996) and lay the foundations for a larger study of ethnic violence currently in progress. In one widely shared perspective, ethnic violence, as a form of collective vio- lence, is partly a product of propaganda, rumor, prejudice, and memory—all forms of knowledge and all usually associated with heightened conviction, con- viction capable of producing inhumane degrees of violence. But there is an alter- native approach to ethnic violence, with roots traceable to Durkheim’s (1951) work on anomie and Simmel’s (1950) ideas about the stranger. This tradition of think- ing—which focuses on doubt, uncertainty, and indeterminacy—has surfaced Earlier versions of this essay were presented before audiences in Amsterdam, Cambridge (Mass.), Chicago, Paris, and Rio de Janeiro. The valuable criticisms and suggestions offered to me on these occa- sions were too numerous to fully engage in this revision.

  • What Is Driving Ethiopia's Ethnic Conflicts?
    What is driving Ethiopia’s ethnic conflicts? Semir Yusuf The rise in violent ethnic conflict in Ethiopia in recent years can largely be linked to the sharp increase in militant ethnic nationalism against a backdrop of state and party fragility. Decades of exclusivist political arrangements have contributed to a steady rise in ethnic consciousness, with the state and ruling party becoming increasingly incoherent. This has increased ethnic disagreement. High-level negotiations aided by nationwide and inclusive dialogue could help stabilise the country.

It develops arguments that suggest the importance of inter-group economic inequality in bringing about inter-group hostility, and works toward providing empirical support for this causal connection by primarily relying on a large-N cross-national research design. This design culminates in multivariate regression models. Because of data availability issues, the task of addressing multiple potential determinants of the inter-group conflict advocated in the literature has been implemented by involving three datasets, of which two serve group-level analyses and one confines itself to the country level.

  • Theory and Evidence from the Rwandan Genocide
    Propaganda and Conflict Theory and Evidence from the Rwandan Genocide David Yanagizawa-Drott CID Working Paper No. 257 August 2012 Copyright 2012 Yanagizawa-Drott, David, and the President and Fellows of Harvard College Working Papers Center for International Development at Harvard University Propaganda and Conflict: Theory and Evidence from the Rwandan Genocide David Yanagizawa-Drott Harvard University August 2012 Abstract This paper investigates the role of mass media in times of conflict and state-sponsored vio- lence. A model of collective violence is presented where mass media has the potential to increase participation in conflict by facilitating coordination, in addition to any direct effect on behav- ior due to content. Guided by the insights of the model, the paper uses a unique nation-wide village-level dataset from the Rwandan Genocide to estimate the impact of radio broadcasts that called for the extermination of the Tutsi minority, and are commonly believed to have played a significant role in fueling the violence. The results show that the broadcasts increased participation in the killings. They indicate that approximately 10 percent, or an estimated 51,000 perpetrators, of the participation in the violence during the Rwandan Genocide can be attributed to the effects of the radio. Violence that inherently requires more coordination, such as militia and army violence, was also more affected by the broadcasts. Together with a set of results presented in the paper, the evidence indicates that mass media can in part affect conflict by functioning as a coordination device.
