This chapter shows how nationalism logically leads regional governments to seek international agency. The first section argues that paradiplomacy is a likely consequence of the existence of a strong nationalist movement because it prodvides opportunities for identity/nation building, political-territorial mobilization and the promotion of regional interests.The second section suggests that regional autonomy, constitutional frameworks and the national foreign policy agenda are the crucial elements of this domestic context. The third section examines the case of the Basque Country. ; Peer reviewed

Although the geographical, technological and economic aspects of the South African nation have a reasonably stable basis, the socio-cultural aspect is not only contested, but has since 1994 led to new movements and public debates regarding the recognition of the position of some categories/minorities and their rights in the newly-created democratic dispensation. It would not be correct to assume that all these 'new' movements and voices are of a centrifugal nature and therefore indicative of potentially separatist tendencies. Whereas most of the evolution and history of 'Afrikaans' stemmed from its proponents' opposition to the imposition of English and its imperialist backing, the current debate is about Afrikaans being displaced and relegated to a lowly position by an Englishspeaking black-majority government. Surveying the nature and context of this public debate on the 'position of Afrikaans' will broaden the understanding of contemporary 'nation building' in South Africa. Again, social scientists could endeavour to comprehend culture 'in the making' as created by some of the 'imaginative' Afrikaans-speaking participants and the implications of this discourse for nation building and competition.

Der Verfasser setzt sich zunächst mit den aktuellen Theorien zur Entstehung von Nationen auseinander und zeigt, dass beide dominierende Flügel politischer Theorien auf diesem Gebiet, der Kontextualismus wie der Konstruktivismus, zu einem gewissen Reduktionismus in der Erklärung der Entstehung von Nationen geführt haben. Dieser Reduktionismus kann nach Ansicht des Verfassers durch ein Anknüpfen an Nietzsche überwunden werden. Nationen erscheinen dann als schwer fassbare Konstrukte unterschiedlicher subjektiver Perzeptionen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Für die Untersuchung dieser Perspektiven kann Foucaults genealogische Methode nutzbringend angewendet werden. (BIOst-Wpt)

This is a case study of the clerical-nationalist Slovak state established under Nazi protection during WWII. As the only example of Slovak political independence prior to the break-up of Czechoslovakia in 1993, nationalist interpretations of its legacy have helped shape the Slovak discourse on postcommunist state & nation building. To explore the impact of the Slovak state on the development of Slovak nationalism, this article examines how the ideology of the Slovak state structured the relationship between the individual, state, & nation; the roots of the regime's ideology; & the ramifications of this ideology for governance during the period of statehood. Through this exploration, I hope both to contribute to a fuller understanding of the relationship between ethnic nationalism & authoritarian patterns of governance & to lay the groundwork for further study of the sources of postcommunist Slovak political culture. 24 References.
