Why have Ethnicities Been Transformed into Nationalities?
Key Issue 2Slide2
Nationality
Identity with a group of people who share legal attachment and personal allegiance to a particular country.
Unlike ethnicity, to be of the same nationality you practice this connectedness through voting, getting a passport and participating in civic duties
Every U.S citizen shares the same nationality although may be racially ethnically different. Slide3
Ethnic-Nation Clash
Nationality is important as it unites people under a government.
To categorize people by place of origin helps to document emigrants and immigrants.
If people were classified by ethnicity, rather than nation, as many would prefer, this could/has lead to great conflict. Slide4
Nation State
Through self-determination there are ethnicities that have been transformed into nationalities.
Out of this concept a Nation-State was born.
Where the ethnic and cultural values of people also share a territory on earth.
Territory reflects ethnicity. Slide5

Europe 2008Slide11
No perfect nation state
With globalization and immigration it is far to difficult to truly be a nation state, with the exception of maybe Japan.
When you are then forced to unite people not under the shared cultural values but rather under the collective government, Nationalism is born. Slide12
Nationalism
Centripetal and Centrifugal forces!
Loyalty to a nation- a physical place-
U.S.A= #1!!!!

Flags and songs
negativity towards othersSlide14
Multiethnic/Multinational States
More than one ethnicity that contribute to the whole of the culture of the nation- Belgium
More than one recognized ethnicity with traditions of self determination but agree to coexist peacefully while recognizing their own nationalities.– UK

What holds them together? SPORTS! FIFA!!!!Slide15
Other Multi-National States
Former Soviet Union –1991
Made up of 15 republics and based on the 15 largest ethnicities.
Other small ethnicities were not given rank and power
When the Soviet Union fell, these republics became 15 independent states. Slide16Slide17Slide18
The Baltic'sSlide19
The “Europeans”Slide20
Central Asians- “stans”Slide21
Russia as a Multinational State
39 ethnicities are recognized as nationalities inside Russia.
20% of ‘Russians’ are not Russian.
The occupy border areas and speak non-Indo European languages. Slide22Slide23
Chechnya
There are a number of independent movements because Russian is less forceful in holding these groups together than the Soviet Union was.
Chechnya is one example.
Chechens are Sunni Muslims who declared independence after the 1991 fall but Russia needs them for their rich natural resources---petroleum Slide24

Revival of Ethnic Identity
These conflicts in the former republics demonstrate the strength that ethnicity has over nationality.
Karl Marx said Nationalism was created by the people in power to control those who labored for the country.
But it is Ethnicity that is more powerful than nationality. Slide28
Ethnicity and Communism
Communism was used to snuff out ethnic identity.
The communist government of Bulgaria banned the Turkish language and Islamic religious rituals in an effort to unite citizens under a governmental model rather than a cultural one.
People were ‘encouraged’ through centripetal forces to promote the communist agenda. Media and art. Slide29
Rebirth of Nationalism in Eastern Europe
After the fall of the Soviet Union, majority ethnicities were given the opportunity to create nation-states BUT those who were minority ethnic groups were scattered throughout the newly formed nation states.
These minorities fought to establish sovereign nation states of their own.
The fall
of Yugoslavia.
