In this country, radical right has an extensive social base and both ruling party and some other political entities can put forward examples of extreme nationalism. Caucasian-origin people have been the most negatively Caucasian immigrants from Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan asinfluenced well as group the Northernfrom these Caucasians approaches already since the holding beginning. Russian The citizenship have been target of numerous violent attacks especially in the 2000s. At the same time, rising racism in Russia strengthens expectations from the government to follow more active imperialist policies as racist groups more intensely defend and voice the rights of the Russians living in the former Soviet republics. Furthermore, between Russia and post-Soviet countries and in this sense, they these groups provide an additional fighting power in the clashes geography. compose a significant dimension of the interstate relations in this Keywords: Russia, Racism, Caucasia, Immigration, United Russia 1 Makalenin Geliş Tarihi: 15.04.2018 [email protected] Kabul Tarihi: 22.01.2019 2 Dr. Öğr.

©Copyright 2017 Yu Sasaki Precocious Enough to Rationalize Culture? Explaining the Success and Failure of Nation-building in Europe, 1400–2000 Yu Sasaki A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Anthony Gill, Chair Edgar Kiser Victor Menaldo Steven Pfaff Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Political Science University of Washington Abstract Precocious Enough to Rationalize Culture? Explaining the Success and Failure of Nation-building in Europe, 1400–2000 Yu Sasaki Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Anthony Gill Political Science Why do some ethnic groups consolidate their cultural practices earlier than others? Extant schol- arship in ethnicity, nations, and state-building hypothesizes that the state is the most important determinant. In my dissertation, I argue that it is not the only channel and there are other fac- tors that matter. In three standalone essays, I investigate the role of (1) geography, (2) technology, and (3) public goods provision at the ethnic-group level. I provide a simple conceptual frame- work of how each of these determinants affects cultural consolidation for ethnic groups. I argue that geographical conditions and technology adoption can have a positive impact on ethnic groups’ ability to develop unique cultural attributes without an independent state. Although they may be politically incorporated by stronger groups in the modern period, they still demand self-rule or standardize their vernacular. I also argue that, in contrast with the expectation from the political economy research on ethnicity, cultural consolidation does not always yield public goods provision at the ethnic-group level. -
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon our master Muhammad, and his family and all companions. Today, amidst the coronavirus pandemic, we witness the situation where our places of worship are closed. But not our hearts. Our worship places moved to our hearts, where we keep praying to the Almighty Allah. Last year, my Brother, His Eminence the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmad Al- Tayyeb and His Holiness Pope Francis, together with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, have signed the joint document of “Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together”. Today, responding to the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity’s call for the joint prayer of the leaders and representatives of all World religions, I fully support this Godly idea. Together with all faith leaders over the World, we, the faith leaders in Azerbaijan – Muslims, Christians and Jews, will celebrate May 14 as “a day for fasting, prayers and supplications for the good of all humanity", for the end of that terrible pandemic. My country is in the forefront of this fight. All necessary measures have been taken to protect people from infection, so it is a result of the proper policy of the Government and the Head of State. There is no boundary for spiritual life. Obviously, today we are in a big need to the Unity. The God is One, Sole, but He wants us to be together. However, when Christians, Muslims, and Jews, when people of all faiths on Earth are together, we become strong. -

Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality
Unknown Suburbs: Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality 2020 POLICY STUDY Unknown Suburbs: Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality Aleksandre Kvakhadze POLICY STUDY 2020 Introduction Since declaring its independence, the Georgian state has been struggling with the integration of its ethnic minorities. The regions densely populated by ethnic Azerbaijanis and Armenians have been passively involved in the social and political processes in Georgia. The combination of the legacy of Soviet ‘national policy,’ an ineffective educational system and socio-economic problems hinder the integration of these regions. This paper will be devoted to the Gardabani municipality, an administrative entity with a significant Azerbaijani population. Several factors have determined the choice of this region for this study. Firstly, geographically speaking, the region represents a suburban area of the cities of Tbilisi and Rustavi. It can be considered as a part of ‘greater Tbilisi/Rustavi’ or a ‘Tbilisi-Rustavi agglomeration.’ Secondly, despite its proximity to Georgia’s political and economic center, the Azerbaijani community in this region has been leading a parallel life and is disconnected from the country’s social and political dynamics. Simultaneously, very little is known about this region and very little research has been carried out on its multi-ethnic population. Unlike the neighboring Marneuli municipality, which has been receiving increasing attention from academia, the media and the non-governmental sector, the Azerbaijani population in Garbadani remains neglected by academic and non-governmental bodies. For instance, there is no comprehensive academic research on the linguistic, historical, ethnologic, social and religious parameters of Azerbaijanis in Gardabani. The absence of reliable works leads to myths and uncertainties regarding Georgia’s Azerbaijanis. -

Report Azerbaijan
Report Azerbaijan: Religious Pluralism and Challenges Of Cultivating Identity This paper was originally written in Arabic by: Dr. Fatima Al-Smadi* Translated into English by: AMEC Al Jazeera Centre for Studies 15 October 2015 Tel: +974-40158384 [email protected] http://studies.aljazeera.n [AlJazeera] Abstract The Azerbaijani experience points to the existence of an interactive situation between social and cultural components, which has led to the emergence of a religious existence that can be called “the Azerbaijan model”. In addition to Shia and Sunni Muslims, who make up the majority of the population, Jews, as well as followers of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Russian Orthodox Church and other religions are all citizens of Azerbaijan. This report discusses “the Azerbaijan model” in terms of levels of coexistence and religious diversity, as well as the challenges faced by the country in terms of this issue. Introduction Most statistics contend that ninety-six per cent of Azerbaijan’s population is Muslim, while the remainder (four per cent) is distributed among other religions, such as Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism. Meanwhile, government officials say that ninety-two per cent of the population is Muslim.(1) Some statistics say that Shia represent eighty-five per cent of the Muslim population, while the percentage of Sunni Muslims is fifteen per cent. But, according to officials running religious affairs in the coutnry, the percentage of Sunni Muslims is actually thirty-five per cent.(2) The report concludes that the religious situation in Azerbaijan is largely linked to the country’s geopolitical situation and given that it is surrounded by significant actors in the region, including Russia, Turkey and Iran. -
