Based on the Philosophies of Kant, Rawls, Rorty and 317 Vlaisavljević Contributors Editors’ Foreword It has been almost two years since we frst decided to embark on a project of organizing an international philosophical conference which would be devoted to a familiar but highly disturbing subject: the extraordinary upsurge of nationalism in its novel and unprecedented forms, with extreme xenophobia as one of its central features. The conference, organized by the Center for Philosophy of the Institute of Social Sciences, under the title “Xenophobia, Identity and New Forms of Nationalism”, was held on October 4–5 of 2018 in Belgrade. It was attended by 17 lecturers from eight countries, most of them philosophers, but also sociologists, political scientists, jurists, journalists or fction writers. This collective volume is its result. As is well known, at the time of the inception of our idea, the is- sue of new nationalism and xenophobia had already become burning not only in Europe (in the political as well as historical and cultural meaning of the term) but in many other parts of the world too. Sadly, in the meantime, it has gained even more in impetus and signifcance in social, political and institutional life, above all in developed Western countries. Obviously, one of the main reasons for this state of afairs is the (so inappropriately named) “migration problem”, which is in fact the problem of inequality in the world society. If the words “migration” or “immigration” did not fgure in the title of the conference, it is only because their connection to xenophobia, to the new forms of national- ism and to the politics of identity is so manifest, that those terms, as it seemed to us, could be omitted with no harm for the discussion of our subject, and because we hoped that the imposing realities to which they refer would not be overlooked by the participants anyway. This has proven to be true. However, the sheer topicality of the theme was not the only reason for our decision to devote a special attention to it. Dealing with what we have termed “new nationalism”, strongly colored by xenopho- bia and framed in identitarian slogans – most of them newly forged, but highly reminiscent of the past – is above all intellectually challeng- ing, particularly from, dare we say, a philosophical point of view. It in- volves a distinctly philosophical task of identifying the conceptual bor- ders of a historically changing, Protean phenomenon. What is at stake here is the relationship between old and new forms of nationalism, which forms the center of the frst part of the volume (“Xenophobia In- herited, Xenophobia Transformed”). Is new nationalism merely a se- quel to the historical one, or something radically diferent and novel? No doubt this question allows for diferent answers. At the very least, the new nationalism seems to have taken the place in the political spec- trum which was up to now occupied by extremist far-right parties, and 7 deserves for that reason to be treated as their successor. In particular cases, historical continuity is warranted by sticking to the old party volumes edited name, regardless of signifcant and outspoken changes in the party program. However, one may even go so far as to deny altogether that the new xenophobic identitarianism represents a form of nationalism as we have known it, as is the case in the opening article of the frst sec- tion (by Rastko Močnik). Another point calling for refection is the relationship between nationalist and xenophobic practices or feelings and the world of ideas or systems of thought in the broadest sense of the term (treated by Goran Bašić, János Boros, Slobodan Divjak). This relationship is at least twofold, as it can signify either the embeddedness of nationalism in ideological and philosophical matrices which serve to justify it, or the capacity of the latter to deal with nationalism and its detrimental socie- tal efects. Here again, the most striking feature of new nationalism is perhaps its extraordinary capacity to change and adapt to diferent ideological and philosophical standpoints – postmodernism, communi- tarianism, multiculturalism or even liberalism. By appropriating the ar- guments of their opponents – by appealing to justice, equality or right to diference – new nationalist narratives

Introduction The Invention of an Ethnic Nationalism he Hindu nationalist movement started to monopolize the front pages of Indian newspapers in the 1990s when the political T party that represented it in the political arena, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP—which translates roughly as Indian People’s Party), rose to power. From 2 seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian parliament, the BJP increased its tally to 88 in 1989, 120 in 1991, 161 in 1996—at which time it became the largest party in that assembly—and to 178 in 1998. At that point it was in a position to form a coalition government, an achievement it repeated after the 1999 mid-term elections. For the first time in Indian history, Hindu nationalism had managed to take over power. The BJP and its allies remained in office for five full years, until 2004. The general public discovered Hindu nationalism in operation over these years. But it had of course already been active in Indian politics and society for decades; in fact, this ism is one of the oldest ideological streams in India. It took concrete shape in the 1920s and even harks back to more nascent shapes in the nineteenth century. As a movement, too, Hindu nationalism is heir to a long tradition. Its main incarnation today, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS—or the National Volunteer Corps), was founded in 1925, soon after the first Indian communist party, and before the first Indian socialist party.

Based on the ethno-symbolist approach to the study of nationalism, this thesis proposes to see the Thai nation as a result of a long process, reflecting the three-phases-model (ethnie , pre-modem and modem nation) for the potential development of a nation as outlined by Anthony Smith.

  • Transnationalism and the Revival of Nationalism Andalusia Knoll Soloff and Trevor R
    Transnationalism and the Revival of Nationalism Andalusia Knoll Soloff and Trevor R. Getz Is nationalism still relevant in the world today? Does it serve to unite or divide people? These are questions that are meaningful for many groups around the world. 1070L Transnationalism and the Revival of Nationalism Andalusia Knoll Soloff and Trevor R. Getz A world of nation-states Since the eighteenth century, the rise of the nation-state has been a major force in world events. In our globalized world today, billions of people use the same social networks and listen to the same hit songs, wear the same style jeans, and play the same video games. Yet almost everybody is still a citizen of a nation-state, and national identity still motivates people. In fact, nationalism may be on the rise. Sports offers an interesting forum for considering nationalism and the role of the nation-state. The biggest sporting events in the world—the Olympics and the Football (Soccer) World Cup—pit teams of the different nation- states against each other. They pursue medals while promoting national pride. Some scholars believe sporting competitions like these demonstrate the importance to people of identifying with a group. If group inclusion is an essential part of being human, then national identities and nationalism are powerful motivators. However, sports also show the complexity of nation-states. For example, the United Nations recognizes 195 sovereign nation-states. The FIFA World Cup only allows those 195 to show their flags, even though 211 teams can participate in the qualifying games. Some of these flag-free teams represent communities that aren’t fully recognized nation-states.

  • 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.

  • Revisiting Global America: Nationalism in History and Politics
    Editorial USAbroad – Journal of American History and Politics. Vol. 2 (2019) https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.2611-2752/9073 ISSN 2611-2752 Revisiting Global America: Nationalism in History and Politics Published: March 1, 2019 Nationalism has been a defining feature of American history, politics, and international relations. Since its foundation, the United States has created an exceptional, expansive, and open image of itself as the “global nation” founded on a set of seemingly universal principles. The ways Americans have thought about their country have been a tremendous force for overseas expansion and an irresistible attraction for many outsiders. However, despite the success of this model of global, multiracial and multi-ethnic America, or possibly because of it, recent but not unprecedented nationalistic trends have contributed to dispute, contest or even reject its very tenets. The topic has also taken on ur- gency at the historiographical level. Scholars have inevitably looked with renewed interest into US nationalism and its practical, policy manifestations since 9/11. In the last few years, however, the de- bate has become even more intense, with a shift from explaining outcomes to questioning the nature of American identity and patriotism. The seismic waves produced by the last presidential election eventually reached nationalism studies, reinforcing a tendency that had started after the election of Obama: ethnicity, religion, and above all race were brought back as crucial elements in the analysis of the American national community and provided a tool to deconstruct the alternative visions of belonging that find space in the current political and public debate. At the same time, nationalism per se is being refashioned.

  • Nationalism and International Order
    Nationalism and International Order Dr Jaakko Heiskanen Department of Politics and international Studies University of Cambridge MPhil Course Guide for 2021-2022 Course Description The demise of the nation-state and the disappearance of nationalism have been predicted on many occasions, yet they stubbornly refuse to fade away. If anything, the last decade has witnessed an intensification of nationalist rhetoric and a recentring of the nation-state in international politics through practices such as nation-state wall-building and national lockdowns. This course explores the past, present, and possible futures of nationalism and the nation-state from the vantage point of international order. By the end of the course, students will have acquired an excellent understanding of the historical origins and development of nationalism as well as the analytical tools needed to think and write critically about contemporary nationalism. The course is organised into seven seminars of 90-120 minutes. Seminar 1 provides an introduction to the study of nationalism and international order. The remaining six seminars are then loosely clustered into three thematically related pairings. Seminars 2 and 3 are concerned with the historical origins of nationalism and the rise of the nation-state, mainly in the European context. Seminars 4 and 5 shift the focus to the global imperial framework within which the European system of nation- states was embedded and examine the tangled relationship between nationalism, empire, and race from the nineteenth century to the present day. Seminars 6 and 7 consider the future of nationalism and international order by engaging with contemporary debates about globalisation and populism.

    Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Introduction Catherine Baker Lecturer, University of Hull [email protected] http://www.suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at/cse/en/baker Contemporary Southeastern Europe, 2015, 2(1), 74-93 Contemporary Southeastern Europe is an online, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that publishes original, scholarly, and policy-oriented research on issues relevant to societies in Southeastern Europe. For more information, please contact us at [email protected] or visit our website at www.contemporarysee.org Introduction: Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Catherine Baker* Introduction From the vantage point of the early 1990s, when the end of the Cold War not only inspired the discourses of many Eurovision performances but created opportunities for the map of Eurovision participation itself to significantly expand in a short space of time, neither the scale of the contemporary Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) nor the extent to which a field of “Eurovision research” has developed in cultural studies and its related disciplines would have been recognisable. In 1993, when former Warsaw Pact states began to participate in Eurovision for the first time and Yugoslav successor states started to compete in their own right, the contest remained a one-night-per- year theatrical presentation staged in venues that accommodated, at most, a couple of thousand spectators and with points awarded by expert juries from each participating country. Between 1998 and 2004, Eurovision’s organisers, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), and the national broadcasters responsible for hosting each edition of the contest expanded it into an ever grander spectacle: hosted in arenas before live audiences of 10,000 or more, with (from 2004) a semi-final system enabling every eligible country and broadcaster to participate each year, and with (between 1998 and 2008) points awarded almost entirely on the basis of telephone voting by audiences in each participating state.
