national belonging

groups construct their belonging to nations
* How states use claims about national
belonging to define their communities
CROSS-BORDER FORMS OF BELONGING:
* The examination of forms of diaspora
and kin nationalism
* How transnational communities
maintain a sense of belonging across space and time
* How migrant and diaspora communities
construct new ways of belonging
NON-NATIONAL FORMS OF BELONGING:
* How national belonging is responding
to alternative, non-national forms of attachment
* The role of supra-national and
sub-national forces in redefining belonging
* The relationship between national
belonging and cosmopolitanism/post-nationalism
* How possible shifts in the
centrality of national belonging in the contemporary world affect the study of
nationalism.
