Ethnicity, nationalism and citizenship in the NIS : the social bases of political conflict over nationalist and ethnic issues in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova

Objective



An investigation of the peculiarities of ethnic and national identification and their impact on politics, especially on upcoming elections, is at the heart of the planned study. Primary data at this stage of the study will be obtained through national representative samples of the population in each country.

The emergence of nationalism as a principal force in the politics of the NIS is a matter of urgent practical and academic significance. With independence, these countries have been faced with defining criteria for citizenship and this issue raises vexed questions about the relevance of ethnicity and nationality. Moreover, the legacy of Soviet power, with its distinctive migration patterns and border settlements, poses the problem of defining citizenship in a particularly acute way. The successful integration of minorities, and especially the Russian diaspora, is likely to be vital to the maintenance of security in the region.
