| Summary/Abstract |
The status of Northern Ireland has been at the heart of the Brexit impasse. Using semi-structured interviews of political elites and an original survey experiment administered to young people on both sides of the Irish border (N = 771), this study analyzes Brexit’s impact on identities and territorial attachments on the island of Ireland. The results demonstrate that political elites perceived that Brexit had greatly exacerbated intergroup tensions; whereas the survey experiment only identified a significant influence of Brexit on territorial attachment in the Republic of Ireland, and no significant effect of Brexit on attitudes was measured in Northern Ireland.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study discusses competing nationalisms in post-New Order Indonesia, drawn from the official discourses of the nation in the educational arena during the transition to and consolidation of democracy since 1998. Despite government guidelines seeking to homogenize the content of citizenship education textbooks, three official narratives of the nation have emerged. This article demonstrates that competing official narratives of the nation—the state-centered, citizen-centered, and ummah-centered narratives—signify not only tensions in national citizenship education but they also mark the emergence of competing nationalisms in post-New Order Indonesia.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article contributes to the debate on whether federalism leads to ethnic accommodation and is peace-preserving through comparing the methods of ethnic accommodation in federal and unitary states. Rather than focusing on a large dataset, this article offers an in-depth picture of the role the two systems play in ethnic accommodation, offering a more nuanced understanding. The Kurds (Iraq and Turkey) and Tamils (India and Sri Lanka) have been chosen as they form territorial minorities in both federal and unitary states. The article suggests that federalist states offer a degree of acceptance toward political, cultural and economic equality with ethnic minorities. However, federalism may not be the cause of ethnic accommodation; it may be on the one hand the expression of a state willing to concede cultural, political and economic equality to an ethnic minority, or on the other hand induce such behavior. Thus, federalism without recognition of such equality does not guarantee ethnic accommodation.

| Summary/Abstract |
In recent years, nationalist politics in Catalonia reached new heights with annual protests demanding independence from Spain. Meanwhile, the population of foreign nationals in Catalonia grew rapidly. This study analyzes primary sources from political immigrant outreach initiatives to investigate how immigrants have been mobilized in the shifting politics of Catalan nationalism. Politicians use the conversion of immigrants into “new Catalans” to consolidate Catalan identity and promote nation-building. This study traces the interplay of the inclusive and the coercive aspects of discourses appealing directly to immigrants. With rising separatism, long-standing Catalan-language priorities were demoted to win immigrants to the separatist cause.

| Summary/Abstract |
The term “ethnic outbidding” refers to an auction-like process where ethnically-based political parties adopt extreme ideological positions as a means of distancing themselves from rival parties. While a lot of research references ethnic outbidding, very little empirical analysis actually assesses the ability of the outbidding model to explain the actions of ethnic political parties. More generally, existing research on outbidding fails to account for ideological variation among ethnic parties. In this article, we review the research on ethnic party tactics and propose a strategy for implementing ideological data into future ethnic politics research. Employing local-level voting data for Romania and Slovakia, we show that ideological variables have a significant degree of explanatory power. This finding implies that it is only by treating ethnic party ideologies and tactics as exogenous independent variables that we can properly assess the validity of the outbidding model and the existence of outbidding.
