How can i say it . in a more tolerant way?’ ambiguity, ambivalence and contradiction in youth dialogue on ethnic tolerance and i / Pilkington, Hilary   Article
Pilkington, Hilary Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Although survey data identify no significant predictor of intolerance among the Russian population, young people are considered to display heightened levels of ethnic intolerance and radical variants of xenophobia. Drawing on survey and semi-structured interview data from a study of patriotism among young people in two cities in the North-West region of Russia, this article explores the strength of ethnic self-identification and ethnically exclusive notions of Russianness and compares levels and forms of ethnic intolerance. Identifying that routine expression of xenophobic sentiments coexists alongside a commitment to principles of ethnic equality, the article considers what the ambiguities and contradictions in the articulation of intolerance tell us about how young people negotiate complex contemporary multicultural societies.

When words are not enough: assessing the relationship between international commitments and the nuclear choices of Brazil, India and South Africa / Carpes, Mariana   Journal Article
Carpes, Mariana Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract This paper seeks to assess whether there is a contradiction between the commitment to non-proliferation declared by Brazil;India and South Africa and their domestic nuclear choices. Despite differences in their international nuclear status;these countries share similar commitments to non-proliferation;at least discursively. However;once the domestic level-more specifically;the historical characteristics of each of these countries' nuclear paths-is taken into account;a contradiction between their international discourse and their national interests seems to arise. By analysing their nuclear history;this paper asks the following questions: how much have these countries actually been doing in terms of non-proliferation? What are the aims of these countries' domestic nuclear politics? Is there any contradiction between their international nuclear discourse and their domestic practices?
