Forging a nation: the Ethiopian millennium celebration and the multiethnic state / Orlowska, Izabela   Journal Article
Orlowska, Izabela Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Due to a different calendric system, Ethiopia celebrated the turn of the millennium in September 2007. This paper investigates how Ethiopia's coalition government, associated by many Ethiopians with minority rule, set up and mobilised a year-long millennium project to propose new idioms of nationhood redefining Ethiopia's identity to deal with the challenges of ethnic federalism and to accommodate its multiethnic society. I argue that the millennium celebration sought to find a solution to the divisive effects of the politics of 'difference' derived from a policy of ethnic federalism, and to the existing outdated metaphors of nationhood rooted in Semitic culture and Orthodox Christianity. It proposed more suitable idioms of common identity based on the idea of 'unity in diversity'. This paper contributes to our better understanding of the role of symbolism, commemorative events and appropriation of the 'sites of memory' in the complex process of the transition of multiethnic societies into nation states.

Governance in China in 2010 / Davis, Elizabeth Van Wie   Journal Article
Davis, Elizabeth Van Wie Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract China appears to be many things at once: it has wealthy cities and poor villages; the futuristic cityscape of Shanghai exists alongside ancient traditional temples; it is a Communist state and a booming capitalist economy; it shows a Han Chinese face to the world as it struggles with multinational diversity; it ranks well on governance for its economic development index but still confronts enormous governance challenges. How well China deals with its governance challenges will impact not only all of Asia but also the entire world.

Multiethnicity as a Means of Achieving the West's Goals in the Western Balkans: Case Study of North Macedonia / Krapiva, M.   Journal Article
Krapiva, M. Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract THE concept of nation-building has always been a focus of attention, but it attracted the particular interest of researchers in the 20th century amid the development of Third World countries and the desire of new states to expand their powers within a certain territory. This issue was particularly acute in the area of decolonization, but after the US withdrew from Indochina and this process came to an end, the debate on "nation-building" lost its appeal both in international relations and in academia.
