Nationalism & Ethnic Politics explores the varied expressions of ethnicity in politics and its intersections with nationalism, in order to enhance understandings of the sources of both contemporary and historical identity-based conflicts, and to develop more constructive inter-group relations. The journal publishes case studies as well as comparative and theoretical analyses, and we welcome articles from interdisciplinary perspectives and different approaches, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches. As Editors, we have a strong preference for articles that have a substantive theoretical background, offering innovative perspectives for empirical research and practical understanding of cases, either individually or comparatively. At the same time, we welcome articles presenting empirical research that tests, reflects, and incorporates theoretical discussions about the role of ethnic identity in peace and conflict, minority accommodation and challenges to democratic governance. We believe such contributions to be able to attract a wide audience within the field of nationalism and ethnic politics.
Nationalism & Ethnic Politics examines the effects and processes of identity-based mobilization, group formation and cohesion, ethnonational conflict and accommodation in the context of political development and what is commonly referred to as nation- and state- building. We encourage submissions which offer comparative assessments of state and community claims, reflecting on such factors as citizenship, race, religion, economic development, immigration, language, gender, Indigeneity, and related phenomena, and the effects these might have on pluralism, ethno-nationalism, irredentism, and separatism. We seek to publish contributions that engage, advance, and initiate new debates on intersectional approaches to the study of identity-sensitive politics and to offer a platform for conversations that speak to contemporary challenges of diverse, multiethnic societies across the globe.
We invite academics from all stages of their career and world regions with expertise in political studies to contribute. We strongly encourage submissions from women, nonbinary individuals, members of underrepresented groups, and people with disabilities. We particularly welcome contributions from scholars based in the Global South. The journal seeks to include pieces by contributors whose first language is not English, to draw on the expertise that exists in this subfield in the world at large, while also ensuring that the articles published are accessible to a diverse readership in the academy and beyond.
