The following chapter by Michael Byram (Durham University) analyzes school, language, and identity in North Schleswig in the 1980s. It is widely accepted that education has a key function in promoting the use of minority language and identity, but in cases of cross-border minorities, the curricula taught must accommodate the narrative and demands of both, the kinand the state of residence. Additionally, German schools in a Danish state faced a challenge that most minority members spoke the regional dialect Sønderjysk (Southern Jutian), neither standard Danish, nor standard German of the states to which they could be linked via ethnopolitical identities. The former principal of one of the Danish high schools in South Schleswig, Jørgen K€ uhl, offers an overview of minority history until 2020, the centenary of border redrawal and reconstitution of German minority in Denmark. He points out that relationships have normalized since 1995 when the chairman of the German minority spoke for the first time at the central lieu-de-memoire in Danish national history, the battle of Dybbøl memorial day. To this effect, K€ uhl argues, the younger generation from the community see no contradiction in pursuing schooling at first in Danish Duborgskolen in South Schleswig and then enrolling in Deutsches Gymnasium Nordschleswig. He concludes that the previously dominant reference of the region’s citizens to either of the nation-states as homelands, has yielded place to a non-state, Schleswig regional identity. The final chapter by Ruairidh Tarvet (Edinburgh University) confirms this observation in the analysis of linguistic identity in the German minority. He demonstrates both the flexibility of code switching in different circumstances and navigation between standard German, standard Danish and the Sønderjysk dialect. This book opens existing historical research on the region in the region’s languages to an international public; it adds to understanding of hitherto unknown aspects of minority identity formation and community consolidation. Yet, much more critical reflection could have been offered in this volume on the dominant presentation of minority history during and its relationship to NS German rule. If anything this reflects on challenges that minority members themselves face in their Vergangenheitsbew€altigung and are increasingly perceived as such by the minority itself.","PeriodicalId":45342,"journal":{"name":"Nationalism and Ethnic Politics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86900475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author concludes that this regime did not fit into an explanatory framework of inter-group balance, such as power-sharing. Among the factors securing durablity were the ambiguity of official narratives, loosely formalized participatory mechanisms encouraging opportunisic behavior and the maintenace of the elites’ and population segments’ expectations.","PeriodicalId":45342,"journal":{"name":"Nationalism and Ethnic Politics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81201180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It surveys the literature on the need for power-sharing as a conflict management tool for deeply divided societies and explores its suitability for Syria. Two particular power-sharing models are explored: the consociational and centripetal. Both arrangements are examined through a comparative research that assesses the success and failures of the Lebanese and Iraqi power-sharing experiences. The findings suggest that reform toward post-conflict reconstruction requires a multi-step political agreement that may be initiated in an agreement toward a transitional consociational power-sharing arrangement followed by the gradual attainment of centripetal-based power structure.","PeriodicalId":45342,"journal":{"name":"Nationalism and Ethnic Politics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83769092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Ideational Models of Immigrant Integration in Japan: A Multi-Scalar Approach to the Dynamics of Policy Frames","authors":"Eléonore Komai","doi":"10.1080/13537113.2023.2205686","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13537113.2023.2205686","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract This article explores migrant integration policy frames in Japan based on a multi-scalar research design. The development of migrant integration frames mirrors a process where the local scale has contributed to the development of a national policy based on the concept of “multicultural coexistence.” Under the impulsion of immigration reforms, the central government has consolidated the national framework and strengthened its involvement in the governance of migrant integration turning to a more economic framing of migrants. While the cases of Aichi prefecture and Nagoya and Toyohashi cities (located in Aichi prefecture) reflect a gradual convergence of frames with the national level, policies in Kyoto prefecture and Kyoto city do not echo such shifts. Surprisingly, Kyotango city located in Kyoto prefecture has drawn on national level policies turning to a more economic framing of migrants. A focus on “relationality” and stakeholders in policy formulation and relationships between different scales of governance suggests that the assemblage of local political actors bringing their priorities to the discussion table are important shaping forces of local policy frame development. At the same time, exchanges in horizontal and vertical networks exhibit the vitality of the circulation of ideas, even in the absence of formal coordination mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":45342,"journal":{"name":"Nationalism and Ethnic Politics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78503726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The deficit or decline of national cohesion in Nigeria and other independent states has been ascribed to the proliferation and radicalization of separatist movements. Therefore, to provide effective political measures, it has become necessary to quell separatist movement agitations and foster substantial national cohesion. This article examines the actions of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) separatist movement in South East Nigeria and altruistic political solutions to its quest for self-determination. It explores the IPOB’s grievances, strategies, and approaches and the factors sustaining its struggles and uses both primary and secondary sources of data. The study shows that after years of the Nigerian–Biafran war, the Igbo of the South East are still gripped by political alienation, which has led to a renewed call for Biafran statehood. It thus recommends that, rather than using a securitization and militaristic approach to diminish the group’s claims for self-determination, the Nigerian government should initiate a dialogue and ensure ideal inclusive governance to achieve equitable representation of the South East at the national level.","PeriodicalId":45342,"journal":{"name":"Nationalism and Ethnic Politics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86425709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is worth noting that, to achieve independence, a portion of Georgia’s political elite chose European-oriented policies. They used well-known concepts of the nation created by European authors as a theoretical foundation. In response to current debates about Georgia’s European identity, this study demonstrates the contribution of European nation theories to the formation of the modern Georgian nation, as well as the historical link with European values. The purpose of this article is to assess the impact of foreign national theories, specifically European national theories, on Georgian political debates between 1893 and 1917. The study’s research methodology included secondary research and qualitative data analysis. Within the context of nationalism studies, the article adheres to the modernist approach.","PeriodicalId":45342,"journal":{"name":"Nationalism and Ethnic Politics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81708209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also at this time, Ashkenazi, Sephardic, secular, religious, Zionist, and anti-Zionist Jews begin to use Hebrew language for communication; this resulted in adoption of a new kind of cultural Zionism among Jews in Palestine, which was meshed with Ottomanism. As Fishman reports the antagonism in the relationship between Jews and Arabs becomes quite remarkable with the use of the notion of “martyrs” gaining prominence. The late Ottoman period looks like the period of the British Mandate, and to a certain extent, evokes “Israel’s post-Mandate relations with its Palestinian minority” (p. 150) that shape later relationships. The last chapter discusses Zionism during the Young Turk period with many complexities in framing Zionism for Ottoman Jews delicately underscored. To illustrate, for the Ottoman deputy Nissim Mazliah, his Zionist preference was interwoven with his loyalty to the Ottoman state and his advocacy for Hebrew culture. For Ottoman Jews, like Chief Rabbi Haim Nahum and Albert Antebi, on the other hand, their anti-Zionism marked something else entirely. “Their anti-Zionism in no way meant they were against Jewish migration to Palestine; rather they were against an attempt at creating an independent state in Palestine (much different from how anti-Zionism is defined today)” (p. 207). This book is an innovative study which demonstrates how the late Ottoman period prepared the ground for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict before the two national movements developed during the British Mandate and consolidated later in the aftermath of the 1947–1948 war. Fishman documents how the ideas of equality came out of the Young Turk Revolution, led Jews and Palestinians formulate ethno-national claims and dispatch them to Istanbul. Claiming the Homeland should be of use to scholars of Zionism, who want to learn more about different forms it has taken in the past; it documents how Jewish community in Palestine and Palestinians emerged against the backdrop of late Ottoman state.","PeriodicalId":45342,"journal":{"name":"Nationalism and Ethnic Politics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87988108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
