The future of this part of the world is both auspicious and dangerous. I am reminded of the famous medical case of "Uncle Toby," who suffered from a thyroid malfunction which reduced his metabolic rate to almost zero, effectively putting him in cold storage for seven years. When he was cured, it turned out that he had a malignant form of cancer which, after being dormant for those seven years, spread and quickly killed him. Eastern Europe, awakening from the cold storage of authoritarian repression, must now contend with the dangers of virulent nationalism. Yugoslavia is not immune. U.S. Ambassador Warren Zimmermann

FOR AUSTRALIA, THE QUESTION OF A REPUBLIC IS A NATIONALIST ISSUE. THE CAMPAIGN FOR AN AUSTRALIAN REPUBLIC MUST, THEREFORE, BE CONSIDERED IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EVOLUTION OF MATTERS RELATING TO THE TIES BETWEEN AUSTRALIA AND BRITAIN. THESE INCLUDE THE AUSTRALIAN FLAG, THE GOVERNOR-GENERALATE, IMPERIAL AND AUSTRALIAN HONORS, THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, APPEALS TO THE PRIVY COUNCIL, AND THE AUSTRALIA ACT OF 1986. IN THIS PAPER, THESE AND OTHER ISSUES ARE EXAMINED IN AN HISTORICAL CONTEXT. PARTICULAR ATTENTION IS PAID TO THE POLICIES AND PRACTICES OF VARIOUS FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS FROM FEDERATION THROUGH THE KEATING GOVERNMENT.

AbstractThis article asks how, when, and why people came to mobilize en masse in the name of the Tunisian nation against French Protectorate rule. Rather than taking anti‐colonial nationalism as an inevitable response to the imposition of colonial rule, the account offered here insists that it is an outcome to be explained. Building on more recent theoretical directions that stress the processual, relational, and eventful dynamics of nationalism, the article shows that nationalism and nationalist mobilization cannot be attributed simply to the workings of nationalist intellectuals, to long‐standing grievances, or to larger macro‐level transformations. Rather, seeing nationalism as part of struggle and as a domain in which various forms of contentious politics are played out, I show how attention to a particular contentious event in the anti‐naturalization campaign can help us to understand how a certain version of the nation becomes salient as a mobilizing rubric for mass‐level mobilization and how various forms of contention coalesce to produce nationalist outcomes.

It is surprising that in the field of International Peace and Conflict Studies, little attention is given to the European Union (EU). This article explores the EU's evolution and polity from the vantage point of its relevance and contribution to international peace, democracy and security. The EU's political edifice is examined in the backdrop of Europe's historical legacy of ethno-centric nationalism and adversarial conceptions of national interest and foreign relations. From the perspective of peace and conflict studies, the EU's institutional, cultural and conceptual reframing of democracy, security and civil society are assessed and analyzed as conflict-transcending and peace-enhancing factors.

North Korea is arguably the least understood and the most reclusive country in the world. This article discusses the use of sport in the country as a vehicle for political propaganda and, in particular, the role of nationalism within the communist sporting culture. Although most nation states have become increasingly interdependent politically and economically in the so-called global era, relatively few countries have an official relationship with North Korea. Sport may be one of the few arenas in which the world can glimpse North Korean people and their culture because North Korean athletes consistently participate in international sporting competition, both inside and outside of the country, regardless of political and economic isolation. In this article, an attempt is made to paint a picture of North Korean society by exploring the country's sport culture. Particular attention will be paid to the political, and specifically the nationalistic, dimension of sport in North Korea. To this end, three case studies— football, taekwondo, and mass gymnastics—are explored. This study of North Korean sport offers useful insights into the political and nationalistic elements embedded in the country's cultural practice, and, more generally, insights into the problematic relationship between communism and nationalism.
