Bibliography vi Acknowledgments erst time I encountered the term “multiculturalism” was in during a mod- ule at the University of Southampton, taught by Prof. David Owen. Over the years I was on the receiving end of the generocity of various academics. First and foremost, Dr Russell Bentley, who dedicated many hours discussing my views on Plato, which enabled me to win a bursary for the best undergraduate dissertation. It was due to Dr Bentley and Prof. Owen’s references that I was accepted for a Masters at the LSE, and for that I am ever grateful. At LSE, I beneted from the support and guidance of Prof. Anne Phillips, who was always willing to discuss my reading on multiculturalism and to advice me on my PhD applications, for which she wrote numerous references. I am also grateful to Prof. Chandran Kukathas for his references and for our discussions on multiculturalism and the political thought of Rousseau. It was their teaching and guidance that helped me develop my views on multiculturalism, which eventually led me to pursue a PhD at the Department of Politics and International Studies at Warwick. I am grateful to PAIS for supporting the cross-departmental seminars of the Centre of Ethics, Law and Public Aairs. CELPA organises seminars to discuss dra papers by prominent visiting philosophers from all over the world. e ability to ex- change ideas with thinkers of such intellectual sophistication is an absolute privilege. e two people I owe the most are my supervisors, Dr George Christou and Dr Edward Page. ey provided academic and emotional support throughout the vii three years of writing this thesis. ey were always available, willing to discuss my ideas, guide me, and read my work. George and Ed showed enormous faith and trust in me, which enabled me to built the condence necessary for the completion of this thesis. I could not have asked for better supervisors. is PhD could never be written without the nancial support of the Eco- nomic and Social Research Council through the “Security, Conict and Justice” stu- dentship. I am also grateful to the A. G. Leventis Foundation for their generous grants. Also, to ERASMUS for their Teaching Grant that enabled me to co-organise and attend a conference in Uppsala University. Presenting my work in conferences helped me develop the ideas presented in this thesis. I am especially grateful to the Workshop on Methods in Political eory organised by the Manchester Centre for Political eory that discussed my paper on ideal theory, and in particular the feedback by Prof. Kimberly Hutchings. Also, the Panel on the Legal Aspects of the Cyprus Problem at LSE’s Hellenic Observa- tory, where I presented my paper on multicultural constitutionalism. e discussion helped me rene my view, and for that I am grateful to Dr Rebecca Bryant and Dr George Kyris. Also, the conference by Warwick, Uppsala and UC Berkeley in Swe- den, where I presented an early draof my methodology chapter. Finally, the War- wick Graduate Conferences in Political eory, where I rst stood in front of people pretending to have something important to say. I am grateful to my parents for their support and for always believing in me. Most of all, I am grateful to them for letting me chose my own path, which made me take responsibility for my numerous failures and satisfaction from my occasional successes. Finally, to Evilena. For showing her love every single day for the last six years and for extending her ridiculously high standards to me. For reading my dras, for discussing my ideas, for disagreeing

The permanent presence of other cultures’ representatives can trigger a sense of jeopardy; a feeling that the prevailing way of life, its norms, and its values are challenged by strangers, which results in hostility to ethnic minorities living in the same territory. In this context, the study aimed at investigating specific features of the individual’s ethnic identity determined by the degree of the ethnic diversity of their living environment is of relevance. In order to define regions for the study, the comparative analysis of the ethnic diversity of Russian regions was conducted. Two regions for the study were defined: the Sverdlovsk region as a territory with average ethnic diversity and the Republic of Bashkortostan as a highly diverse region in terms of ethnicity. The respondents from less ethno-diverse areas exhibit global self-identification, the awareness of being a part of the world, and territorial identity. Differences in the degree of sustainability and the intensity of ethnic self-identification of the subjects from regions with varying degrees of ethnic diversity were revealed.

U. Elbuzdukaeva (a)*, А. М. Gelagaeva (b), А. М. Sugaipova (с) *Corresponding author (a) Chechen State Teacher’s Training University, Kh. Ibragimov Complex Institute of RAS, Academy of sciences of the Chechen Republic, Kievskaya Str., 33, 364037, Grozny, Russia, (b) National museum of Chechen Republic, Putin Ave., 1b, 364008, Grozny, Russia (с) Chechen State University, Tcheripov Str., 32, 364907, Grozny, Russia Abstract In the 1990s and first decade of the twenty-first century, Chechens and other peoples left the republic for other Russian regions and foreign countries. Before, the main factors of migration were labor redundancy and lack of land resources. In the twentieth century, the large-scale and intensive migration was caused by stress factors: political instability, military actions, struggle of the federal government against separatism and counter-terrorism, economic decline, etc. Counter-terrorist activities which began in 1999 brought an end to ethnic cleansing of the republic – different peoples left the republic, and only Chechens returned. Even the Ingush did not really want to return and settled in Ingushetia. By this time, large-scale mono-ethnicization of Chechnya had been completed. It is crucial for successful adaptation of migrants to determine the social situation for themselves in their adaptative region or country. Having been granted a refugee status in Europe, being under the protection of European laws, Chechens do not forget their traditions and culture.

    Retrieved from: http://www.cifas.us/smith/chapters.html Title: "Pluralism, race and ethnicity in selected African countries." Author(s): M.G. Smith Source: In Theories of Race and Ethnic Relations. John Rex and Philip Mason, eds. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. p. 187-225 . 9 Pluralism, race and ethnicity in selected African countries M. G. SMITH Introduction 'For the most part, in formulating and evaluating 'theories' of race and ethnic relations, Western scholars rely disproportionately on descriptive ~analyses of relevant situations in Western societies provided by other Western scholars, thereby entrenching the myopia and ethnocentric bias from which scholarly studies of these questions have perennially suf­ fered. In an effort to open a small window on the wider world and to persuade colleagues to devote more time to the systematic study of foreign situations, I present here a comparative analysis of data from twenty-seven contemporary African states in an attempt to determine , the relative significance of pluralism, race and ethnicity for social order and political stability in these societies. I do so in the belief that better understanding of the ways in which these three sets of variables affect conditions of social order and political stability in the emergent 'nation­ states' of post-colonial Africa may provide a sound base for general theories of race and ethnicity in modern societies. To that end I shall oulline the social bases and developments of these twenty-seven coun­ tries up to the end of 1982, as that was the latest date for which such information was readily available at the time of writing.

The articles published here explore the field of Euroculture in its different ele- ments: it includes topics such as cosmopolitanism, cultural memory and trau- matic past(s), colonial heritage, democratization and Europeanization as well as Edited by Martin Tamcke, Janny de Jong the concept of (European) identity in various disciplinary contexts such as law Lars Klein, Margriet van der Waal and the social sciences. In which way have Europeanization and Globalization in- fluenced life in Europe more specifically? To what extent have people in Europe turned ‘transcultural’? The ‘trans’ is understood as indicator of an overlapping mix of cultures that does not allow for the construction of sharp differentiations. It is explored in topics such as (im)migration and integration, as well as cultural products and lifestyle. The present economic crisis and debt crisis have led, as side-result, to a public at- tack on the open, cosmopolitan outlook of Europe. The values of the multicultural and civil society and the idea of a people’s Europe have become debatable.

    Muslim migrants in the Tatarstan Republic: religious solidarity or social exclusion? Revista Publicando, 5 No 16. (1). 2018, 631-639. ISSN 1390-9304 Muslim migrants in the Tatarstan Republic: religious solidarity or social exclusion? Alsu M. Garaeva1, Liliya R. Nizamova1 1 Kazan Federal University, [email protected] Abstract The inflow of migrants from Central Asia to Russian Federation and their accommodation are examined via a specific case of the Republic of Tatarstan with significant numbers of Tatar population historically adhered to Islam and often called ‘the Muslim Republic’ of Russia. Hypothesis on a greater loyalty and tolerance of ethnic Tatars towards migrant fellow believers, the role of common Turkic and religious identity of local residents and newcomers is explored on a basis of empirical sociological data. It is argued that there is a great similarity in the attitudes of the ‘Muslim’ (Tatar) and ‘Christian’ (Russian) population of the republic towards migrants; they are characterized by high degree of negativism and latent xenophobia. The numbers of Tatars with positive and inclusive opinions is small, yet multicultural Tatarstan with local Muslim believers and numerous mosques is taken by migrants from Central Asia as a rather comfortable place to work and stay.

  • A Study of Xenophobia in Abdulrazak Gurnah's Dottie
    [VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 3 I JULY – SEPT 2018] e ISSN 2348 –1269, Print ISSN 2349-5138 http://ijrar.com/ Cosmos Impact Factor 4.236 Damned for Difference: A Study of Xenophobia in Abdulrazak Gurnah’s Dottie Debayan Banerjee Ph.D. Research Scholar Gour Banga University, W.B. Vill+P.O. Sripur (Kamarpukur) P.S. Goghat, Dist. Hooghly. Received: May 24, 2018 Accepted: June 28, 2018 ABSTRACT Abdulrazak Gurnah a post Second World War Zanzibari immigrant in Britain, in his third novel, Dottie (1990), presents a gripping account of a third generation diaporic black female whose identity and belonging are controlled and conditioned by the racial prejudice and sexual discrimination. The novel under its purview captures and critiques the disparaging construction of the Blacks as well as their marginalized status in the so-called cosmopolitan hub of the world. By focusing on Dottie the protagonist, an Asian-Black descent, the present paper attempts to interrogate how the Black Britons respond to and negotiate with the xenophobia of the white skinned people of England. As the novel contours several revelatory instances to pinpoint the indefinable citizenship of the black people, the present attempt also seeks to address the insidious viciousness they become continuously subject to. Notwithstanding, by acknowledging that this ambience of pervasive racial segregation is rooted in white- black dichotomy, the paper attempts to offer a socio-historical reading of the (un)belonging of Black people in England. Keywords: Abdulrazak Gurnah, Xenophobia, Racism, Black Britons Main Paper: Unwilling to wedge his characters in the mono-dimensional rhetoric of diasporicity that locates and reads the very existence as sluggish and sordid, Gurnah reconstitutes the traditional conceptualization of identity and culture by suggesting the dispersed people’s unrelenting pursuit for (re)creation of identity as an essential condition and/ or prerequisite of transnational existence.

  • The Rhetorical Uses of Multiculturalism: an Ideographic Analysis of the European Union and Macedonian Discourses in the Dialogue for Eu Accession
    THE RHETORICAL USES OF MULTICULTURALISM: AN IDEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND MACEDONIAN DISCOURSES IN THE DIALOGUE FOR EU ACCESSION Linda Ziberi A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May, 2012 Committee: Lara Lengel, Ph.D., Co-Advisor Alberto González, Ph.D., Co-Advisor Ellen Gorsevski, Ph.D. Marc Simon, Ph.D. Graduate Faculty Representative ii ABSTRACT Lara Lengel, Ph.D., Co-Advisor Alberto González, Ph.D., Co-Advisor Inter-ethnic co-existence is critical for stability and democratic development of Macedonia, a country with European Union (EU) membership aspirations. This study examines discourses between the EU and Macedonia surrounding the concept of multiculturalism, which emerged from inter-ethnic conflict between Albanians, the largest ethnic minority in the nation, and Macedonians, the majority ethnic group. From the Ohrid Framework Agreement, which provides the main format for multiculturalism discourses, the study interrogates how multiculturalism is rhetorically constructed by EU representatives in their presentations to the Macedonia public, and by Albanian and Macedonian and officials of the Macedonian Government, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Deputy Prime Ministers Office for European Affairs, and the Vice Prime Minister representing the Albanian political party in government. The study employs the ideographic analysis method of rhetorical criticism which is particularly constructive for interrogating concepts, such as multiculturalism, used by various parties engaged in negotiating conflict. As different ethnic groups in Macedonia have competing conceptualizations of multiculturalism, the study examines how the term is rhetorically constructed to the Macedonian public from outside the nation, and within by Macedonian and Albanian ethnic groups, particularly under conditions of warfare and EU and U.S.
