Transnationality and transnationalism
Transnationalism refers to connections and exchanges across national borders through economic, political, social, and cultural ties. It involves individuals and groups maintaining relationships with friends, family, institutions, and communities in both their country of origin and destination. Factors like globalization, improved transportation, and communication technologies have made it easier for migrants and other groups to develop and sustain transnational networks and identities. Transnational communities are formed through cross-border interactions and shared interests rather than attachment to a single territory, though migrant communities are often the most significant examples.
Transnationalism: A New Mode of Immigration Integration
This document discusses the concept of immigrant transnationalism, which refers to immigrants regularly engaging in economic, political, and socio-cultural activities that span national borders as part of their daily lives. Advances in transportation and communication have enabled more durable and frequent participation by immigrants in their home countries. The document examines drivers of transnationalism like globalization and how contexts of exit and integration shape transnational activities. It finds that transnationalism takes many forms like business investments, remittances, and cultural exchanges. Transnationalism challenges theories that assume immigrants fully integrate into host societies and severs ties with home countries.
Presentation Transnationalism
This document summarizes a lecture on theories of transnationalism, mobility, and development. It discusses current models linking migration and development, including the "vicious circle" and "virtuous circle" approaches. It proposes a new theoretical approach based on the political economy of development. This approach incorporates international migration into development studies and considers processes of under/over-development as drivers of migration. The document also reviews examples of transnational migrant networks like Ghanacoop and the work of Michael Clemens, who argues true globalization of labor mobility holds solutions for international development.
Migration and Transnationalism: Opportunities and Challenges
This document summarizes a talk given by Michael Keith on migration and transnationalism. It discusses several key topics:
1) It examines different frameworks for understanding migration like assimilation, multiculturalism, and integration. It also looks at how concepts of "home" and identity are changing in a globalized world.
2) It analyzes the economic, social, political and cultural dimensions and implications of transnationalism. This includes how transnational ties impact areas like remittances, trade, politics and rights.
3) It discusses several case studies of migrant settlements to illustrate the complex ways migrants make a home across borders and the policy challenges this poses around citizenship, belonging and scale.

The document discusses the evolution of low-income housing policies in Vietnam and their relationship to development strategies. Early policies focused on subsidized housing but stalled in the 1990s as private housing grew. Recent policies aim to increase low-income housing supply through incentives for private investors like tax breaks. They also assist buyers through long-term loans. The goal is to better meet the needs of Vietnam's growing urban population amid rapid urbanization following economic reforms.
Migrations, Transnationalism and the Locus of Research
This document discusses the shift in migration studies from examining "sites" to studying "fields" through a transnational lens. It outlines three main points:
1) Transnational theory considers migrants as both immigrants and emigrants, examining sending, transit, and receiving contexts as well as social, economic, and cultural flows between places.
2) Research focuses on dispersed social fields rather than geographic locations, requiring multi-sited fieldwork across places. This revives comparative approaches and makes ethnography transnational.
3) Practicing multi-sited research involves following actors and objects across places, balancing between sites, and piecing together different local ethnographies while managing challenges of access and cultural competence.
Geographic mobility
Geographic mobility refers to the movement of populations and goods over time. It can describe migration within a population or between populations, ranging from international migrations to regional commuting. Geographic mobility is influenced by economic, personal, and social factors. It impacts sociological factors in communities and is an area of ongoing academic research.

Globalisation
This document discusses various aspects of globalization including:
- Globalization refers to the increasing integration and interconnectedness of economies, cultures, and political systems around the world due to advances in transportation and communication technologies.
- Major cities have become hubs for global economic activity and centers of socioeconomic development as they attract investment and skilled workers from around the world.
- While globalization has increased economic opportunities, it has also led to negative consequences like rising inequality, urbanization, and environmental degradation in many places. Critics argue it threatens cultural diversity and local control. Supporters counter that it also fosters cultural mixing and exchange.
Country report on semi-structured interviews with temporary migrants - Greece
This document summarizes interviews conducted with 80 migrants in Greece. It finds that most migrants are in Greece temporarily and see it as a transit country due to the financial crisis, with many hoping to eventually reach countries like Germany, UK, France or Scandinavia. The interviews revealed that migrants experience socioeconomic difficulties due to unemployment, legal issues and barriers to integration. While they maintain connections to their home countries, most limit their social lives in Greece to co-ethnic networks due to challenges with language, employment and integration into Greek society. The document concludes by calling for reforms to EU and Greek migration policies and infrastructure to better handle the increasing number of migrants and refugees.
Examining the Demographic and Socio Economic Differentials in Commuting A Rev...
The phenomenon of commuting is largely selective in nature and there is more or less paucity of commuting by a certain segment of population with particular demographic, economic or social traits i.e. age, sex, education, marriage, occupation, income, caste race and religion, etc. . As a general assumption, the males, adults, and the married people are likely more to commute and those with low level of education, medium level of income and with skilled professions, though, the demographic and socio economic differentials in commuting may vary in developed and developing societies depending on their distinct socio economic structure. Commuting selectivity process poses the impacts on both sending and receiving areas. The commuting of workforce with particular qualifications to a region increases the number of that trait in particular area and decreases the number of that segments in dispatching area. Likewise, commuters with high skill of technology and education also diffuse them in their place of work, which later become the base for the development of that particular region. Nazish Naz "Examining the Demographic and Socio-Economic Differentials in Commuting: A Review of Literature" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-4 | Issue-6 , October 2020, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd33540.pdf Paper Url: https://www.ijtsrd.com/humanities-and-the-arts/geography/33540/examining-the-demographic-and-socioeconomic-differentials-in-commuting-a-review-of-literature/nazish-naz
Globalisation
This document discusses several key aspects of globalization including:
- Globalization has increased since the 1990s due to advances in transportation, communication, and technology that have reduced geographic distances.
- Globalization leads to increased economic integration and interdependence between countries through increased trade and financial flows.
- Major cities now compete on a global scale to attract investment and skilled workers, becoming hubs of economic and social development.
- While globalization can increase disparities, it also presents opportunities for planning practices to leverage new information and solutions through international knowledge sharing.
Lee's model of migration
Lee's model of migration proposes that people move due to push and pull factors. Push factors induce people to leave their origin location due to negatives like poverty or instability, while pull factors attract people to destinations that have positives like job opportunities or thriving economies. People evaluate the push and pull factors of different locations along with any intervening obstacles like distance or borders to determine if the factors are strong enough to force or entice migration, or if closer intermediate locations are preferable.
Cultural Globalization
The document discusses different perspectives on cultural globalization and how it relates to culture. It describes culture as a social construction that includes arts, commodified output of industries, and everyday expressions. It also discusses concepts of cultural globalization such as stretching, diffusion, and hybridization. Additionally, it provides a historical perspective on how religions, empires, nation-states, and ideologies have contributed to cultural globalization over time. It examines the role of technologies, industries, and infrastructures in facilitating contemporary cultural globalization.
Cultural Intermediation as the Practice of Governing
This document summarizes the work of a research project team examining cultural intermediation and governance. The team took an interdisciplinary approach, studying cultural intermediation through an arts and humanities lens. They examined cultural intermediation's role in both formal governance structures and informal everyday practices. Through baseline assessments, case studies, and diary-keeping with participants, the team explored how cultural intermediation connects and disconnects different cultural sectors and communities. Their goal was to understand how cultural intermediation could help "re-govern" creative cities to be more inclusive. The team planned to share their findings through academic publications, policy discussions, and local seminars.
Globalization: A Threat to Cultural Diversity?
Globalization threatens cultural diversity by causing confusion as objects, people and ideas are exchanged between cultures. This leads people to feel they are losing their cultural identity and traditional references. While globalization is accelerating a common future, this future cannot belong to any one culture but must be shared. The document discusses the need for a Universal Human Nation where cultural differences are valued rather than marginalized or eliminated, as is the case with the current destructive process of globalization led by banks and multinationals. The task is to make people aware that cultural differences and human values are more important than money or competition in shaping this shared future.

Briefing notes gender and indigenous women
This document provides an overview on gender and indigenous peoples. It discusses how indigenous women face multiple forms of discrimination and challenges to enjoying their human rights fully. They experience higher rates of poverty and violence. However, indigenous women have advocated for their rights at the local, national, and international levels, including being leaders in the negotiations of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Applying a gender perspective to issues facing indigenous peoples is important to understand their differentiated needs and experiences. It can help reduce disparities between indigenous men and women in areas like access to resources and participation in development initiatives.
101 Globalisation And Culture
This document discusses the impact of globalization on local cultures. It explores how the expansion of U.S. corporations and products abroad can influence local mores and traditions, using examples like McDonald's influencing eating habits in China. It also examines how the large size and wealth of the American market and the dominance of the English language have allowed U.S. cultural products to spread widely globally, with concerns that this could lead to the homogenization of world cultures. Some see such changes as threats to cultural diversity, while others view them as positive aspects of global integration.

Country report on semi-structured interviews with temporary migrants - Turkey
This document summarizes the findings of 80 interviews conducted with temporary migrants in Turkey. It discusses the different categories of migrants interviewed, including high-skilled workers, entrepreneurs, low-skilled workers, students, returnees, irregular migrants, transit migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees. It examines their nationalities, genders, duration of stay in Turkey, legal status, socioeconomic situations, integration challenges, and future plans. A particular focus is given to the over 2 million Syrian refugees in Turkey living with temporary protection status but lacking basic rights like employment and adequate access to healthcare and education. The document recommends policy changes to improve the situation for migrants and refugees in Turkey.
Globalization of World Politics: An Introduction to International Relations
George W. Bush's foreign policy argued that old methods of dealing with challenges were obsolete. It changed sharply after 9/11 to emphasize unilateralism. This led to the controversial war in Iraq, whose reasons and effects are still highly debated. The end of the Cold War led to American primacy, but also new issues like inequality, the rise of China, and challenges to European integration and Russian authoritarianism. Globalization became a major topic of discussion around increasing interconnectedness and its contested impacts.
Cultural globalization in Indian context
Cultural globalization can spread both cultural products like films and songs, as well as cultural attitudes like democracy and human rights. While globalization is often seen as westernization, the West dominated due to historical factors like the Reformation, Renaissance, Industrial Revolution, and strong navies. Cultural globalization in India was impacted by the Aryan migration which introduced the caste system and Sanskrit language, Muslim invasions which spread Islam and influenced art/architecture, and Western colonization which spread Christianity, abolished rituals, introduced education/celebrations, and led to the rise of nationalism and rediscovery of India's past.

This document discusses several key concepts and metaphors related to understanding globalization, including:
1) Cultural homogenization and the uniformity of culture worldwide due to processes like cultural diffusion and the spread of capitalism.
2) The role of information and communication technologies in enabling the flows of finance, capital, ideas, and people across borders that drive globalization.
3) The changing roles and authority of nation-states in a globalized world where power and influence are spread across international and regional organizations.
4) The complex relationships between globalization, inequality, and processes like democratization and the growth of human rights and civic activism.
5) Transnationalism as a related but more delimited
Transnational Entrepreneurship: Beyond the Bodega
The document discusses different frames for understanding immigration and immigrant entrepreneurship. It argues that the traditional frames of the "Emma Lazarus Frame" which sees immigration as driven by poverty, the "Melting Pot Frame" which emphasizes assimilation, and the "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood Frame" which views immigrant businesses as small and local, no longer fully capture the reality. It proposes a new frame of "Keeping Feet in Both Worlds" to describe transnational entrepreneurship, where immigrants engage in economic and social activities across borders. Transnational entrepreneurs have significant global economic impacts and provide new opportunities for development, challenging traditional views of community and integration.
Urbanization and the Politics of Identity in Buea A Sociological Perspective
Urbanization plays a distinct and important role in producing political relationships. Identity politics which is strongly linked to sense of belonging is an important dimension of political relationships in urban areas. This study examines the relationship between urbanization and the politics of identity in Buea. The research is a descriptive documentary research with data collected from secondary sources former studies and reports, newspapers, archival records and internet publications with few interviews. Data collection procedures included reading and note taking. Data was analyzed using thematic content analysis whereby concepts and ideas were grouped together under umbrella key words to appreciate the trends in them. The Instrumentalist Theory of Ethnicity was the framework that guided the study. The themes were geared towards outlining how ethnicity has been a tool of political control. Data was gathered from the different epochs that have marked urbanization in Buea, from the Native Authority to the present Buea Rural Council, demonstrating how this has influenced relationships between natives and non natives. Results show that, starting as a colonial town, and most especially with her changing status as the capital successively of German Cameroon, British Southern Cameroons, and West Cameroon, coupled with the fact that she has had to harbour several institutions, Buea has experienced rapid urbanization. It also reveals that, just as colonialism is responsible for rapid urbanization in Buea, it has constructed differences between “us” and the “other” aimed at protecting indigenous minorities. In essence, the thesis demonstrates how the transition of Buea from a rural to an urban settlement has led to several types of relations across identity division, especially between insiders and outsiders as well as among native segments as each strives to dominate the political milieu. Although the non natives are in a demographic majority, they occupy a minority position within the Council. Most especially, the recruitment policy of the Councilfavours natives, to the detriment of non natives. Land restitution and re alienation has ushered in a paradigm shift from tensions between natives and non natives to an era of peaceful co existence.

Cultural globalization in India was impacted by the Aryan migration which introduced the caste system and Sanskrit language, Muslim invasions which spread Islam and influenced art/architecture, and Western colonization which spread Christianity, abolished rituals, introduced education/celebrations, and led to the rise of nationalism and rediscovery of India's past.

This document discusses several key concepts and metaphors related to understanding globalization, including:
1) Cultural homogenization and the uniformity of culture worldwide due to processes like cultural diffusion and the spread of capitalism.
2) The role of information and communication technologies in enabling the flows of finance, capital, ideas, and people across borders that drive globalization.
3) The changing roles and authority of nation-states in a globalized world where power and influence are spread across international and regional organizations.
4) The complex relationships between globalization, inequality, and processes like democratization and the growth of human rights and civic activism.
5) Transnationalism as a related but more delimited

Transnational Entrepreneurship: Beyond the Bodega
The document discusses different frames for understanding immigration and immigrant entrepreneurship. It argues that the traditional frames of the "Emma Lazarus Frame" which sees immigration as driven by poverty, the "Melting Pot Frame" which emphasizes assimilation, and the "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood Frame" which views immigrant businesses as small and local, no longer fully capture the reality. It proposes a new frame of "Keeping Feet in Both Worlds" to describe transnational entrepreneurship, where immigrants engage in economic and social activities across borders. Transnational entrepreneurs have significant global economic impacts and provide new opportunities for development, challenging traditional views of community and integration.
Urbanization and the Politics of Identity in Buea A Sociological Perspective
Urbanization plays a distinct and important role in producing political relationships. Identity politics which is strongly linked to sense of belonging is an important dimension of political relationships in urban areas. This study examines the relationship between urbanization and the politics of identity in Buea. The research is a descriptive documentary research with data collected from secondary sources former studies and reports, newspapers, archival records and internet publications with few interviews. Data collection procedures included reading and note taking. Data was analyzed using thematic content analysis whereby concepts and ideas were grouped together under umbrella key words to appreciate the trends in them. The Instrumentalist Theory of Ethnicity was the framework that guided the study. The themes were geared towards outlining how ethnicity has been a tool of political control. Data was gathered from the different epochs that have marked urbanization in Buea, from the Native Authority to the present Buea Rural Council, demonstrating how this has influenced relationships between natives and non natives. Results show that, starting as a colonial town, and most especially with her changing status as the capital successively of German Cameroon, British Southern Cameroons, and West Cameroon, coupled with the fact that she has had to harbour several institutions, Buea has experienced rapid urbanization. It also reveals that, just as colonialism is responsible for rapid urbanization in Buea, it has constructed differences between “us” and the “other” aimed at protecting indigenous minorities. In essence, the thesis demonstrates how the transition of Buea from a rural to an urban settlement has led to several types of relations across identity division, especially between insiders and outsiders as well as among native segments as each strives to dominate the political milieu. Although the non natives are in a demographic majority, they occupy a minority position within the Council. Most especially, the recruitment policy of the Councilfavours natives, to the detriment of non natives. Land restitution and re alienation has ushered in a paradigm shift from tensions between natives and non natives to an era of peaceful co existence.

Determinants of internal migration in tanzania
This document summarizes a journal article that examines the determinants of internal migration in Tanzania. It finds that demographic characteristics like gender, age, marital status, education level, skills level, and household characteristics like family size and income are significant factors influencing migration based on human capital models and previous research. The determinants of migration differ based on destination within Tanzania. Policymakers need to consider destination preferences and migrant characteristics when addressing the impacts of migration.
Making Rights Matter – Feminized Migration and Political Transnationalism by ...
This document discusses feminized migration and political transnationalism. It notes that while migration is often feminized, the term itself is a misnomer. Many countries now see large percentages of female migrants, especially in sectors like manufacturing and care work. Migrant labor is transforming labor relations as non-profits fill institutional gaps in organizing female and migrant workers. Temporary migration policies can politicize workers and foster "political remittances" between origin and destination countries. Collective activism across borders aims to make migrant rights portable and matter in practice through transnational networks. Future research on gender and rights could analyze these networks from the perspectives of participating individuals.

This document provides an overview of theories from the early 20th century suggesting that immigration increases crime rates. It discusses opportunity structure theory, cultural approach theory, and social disorganization theory, which argued that immigrants face limited opportunities, cultural conflicts with the host society, and social instability in their communities. However, the document notes that over a century of research has not found compelling evidence to support these theoretical expectations. The purpose is to assess whether widespread anti-immigration views are factually grounded or require reexamination based on contemporary empirical research.
Migration management
This document announces an international conference on "Migration Management" and international organizations in the 20th century. It will explore the emergence of concepts of migration management, the underlying policies and practices, and the role of international organizations in regulating economic and forced migration during the 20th century. Researchers are invited to submit proposals by September 15, 2014 on topics such as the development of migration management frameworks, the work of international bodies like the IOM, and the intersection of migration issues with politics, economics, and human rights.
Migration and language
This document discusses language, diversity, and identity issues related to international migration. It covers several key points:
1) Language plays an important role in migration as both a pull factor, with migrants preferring destinations where their native language is spoken, and as a factor that impacts integration, with better language skills in the destination country leading to better outcomes.
2) Migration greatly increases diversity in societies as migrants come from more countries and backgrounds. In many developed countries over half the population growth in recent decades has come from immigration.
3) Migration can impact identity as migrants may lose aspects of their culture and social status from their home country. They have to rebuild their identity in the new country while facing challenges of exclusion

This document discusses conducting online ethnography to study how Brazilian migrants use social networking sites to maintain connections across borders. It argues that online interactions are an important part of many migrants' experiences that interconnect with their offline lives. To better understand how migration has changed in the digital age, researchers should incorporate both online and offline fieldwork to examine how digital connectivity impacts the migrant experience. The document uses the example of Brazilian migrants' use of the social media site Orkut to argue that online spaces are important new fieldsites for migration researchers.
Describe the politics of immigration from both a national and sub na.pdf
Describe the politics of immigration from both a national and sub national perspective
Solution
With globalization resulting in the increased movement of people around the globe, immigration
has become a significant political issue in most developed countries. In the United States and
Europe, immigration policy has been at the center of large public demonstrations and sustained
political debate. As a result, the politics of immigration policy need to be better understood. By
its nature, immigration policy is multidimensional, and hence the supporters and opponents of
different types of immigration policy will vary. 1 Asking who supports and who opposes
immigration overlooks the fact that some individuals will have incentives to support some types
of immigration policies but not others. Unfortunately much of the literature appears to miss this,
in part because public opinion research often is based on generic questions about increasing or
decreasing levels of immigration. Actual immigration policy is differentiated not only by the
type of immigrant affected, but also by the types of instruments (e.g., border control, visas) used
to manage immigrants. For example, a recent literature focuses on the public finance dimension
of immigration, but not all policy decisions about immigrants involve fiscal issues. Indeed
recently, the politics of immigration have increasingly centered on border security. From our
study spanning 27 years of votes in the US House of Representatives, we provide clearer tests of
economic and ideological theories by studying the varying influence of these factors on different
types of immigration policy votes. Immigration policy includes many distinct issues; here, we
consider six main types of immigration legislation, which we think captures most legislation on
the issue. The six types are: high-skill employment visas, low-skill employment visas, welfare
benefits for immigrants, employer constraints, border security, and final passage of over-arching
immigration reform. Recent debates about immigration policy focus on the relative impact of
economic selfinterest and ideological or cultural factors (Burns and Gimpel, 2000; Citrin et al.,
1997; Facchini and Mayda, 2009; Facchini et al., 2009; Hainmueller and Hiscox, 2007, 2010;
Luedtke, 2005; Mayda, 2006). In terms of theories of economic self-interest, the state of the art
in immigration literature presents an interactive model where concerns about an individual’s
economic gains or losses from immigration are conditioned by the fiscal impact of immigration
policy (Borjas, 1999a, b; Facchini and Mayda, 2009). Earlier research claimed that an
individual’s relative capital and labor endowments influenced his or her attitudes toward
immigration because of the labor market ramifications of immigration—i.e., its effect on wages
and employment (Fetzer, 2006; Gonzalez and Kamdar, 2000; Scheve and Slaughter, 2001a).

Living Here & There
This document discusses the concept of transnationalism among immigrants. It defines transnationalism as immigrants regularly engaging in economic, political, and socio-cultural activities in both their country of origin and country of settlement. This builds transnational social fields that connect the two countries. The document provides examples of common transnational activities and discusses how the contexts of exit from one's home country and modes of incorporation in the new country can facilitate or hinder transnationalism.
Forum: Migration and Development
This document discusses migration and development. It defines migration as the movement of people between places and identifies the main types of migration as permanent, temporary, voluntary, or forced; and international or internal. Push factors that drive migration include lack of jobs, poverty, climate change, and civil strife, while pull factors are higher standards of living, labor demand, education, and family links. Migration contributes to development through remittances, which are twice as large as official development aid. The Philippines has an estimated 8-10 million overseas Filipinos, with the largest populations in the US, Saudi Arabia, Canada, and the UAE. Remittances are a major source of funds for the Philippines and are mostly used for food

RURAL URBAN DYNAMICS.pptx
This document discusses various topics related to rural-urban dynamics and migration. It defines urban and rural areas and how cities are classified based on population size. Rural-urban linkages are examined in terms of city centers, rural hinterlands, and the distance elements that connect them. The document also explores migration as a sociological concern, examines why people migrate and push-pull factors, and discusses types and consequences of migration as well as its relationship to urban problems.
Being seen and being heard. Oriol Romaní
This document discusses different forms of citizenship and participation among young adult immigrants in Europe. It begins by introducing the concept of global citizenship and how citizenship rights have expanded beyond traditional civic, political, and social rights to include economic, cultural, digital, and transnational aspects. It then examines formal participation through political parties and civic associations, noting barriers some immigrants face. The document also explores informal participation through social networks, friends, and communities. Several case studies are presented to illustrate different experiences with citizenship and participation.
The topic that I have chosen is economic policies that enable imm.docx
The topic that I have chosen is “economic policies that enable immigrants to thrive”. Immigrants play an important role in the history of the world. Many of the current nations were formed by the successive waves of immigrants moving in and out of the country. Immigration has helped to form the foundation of nations, win wars, and drive counties to great prosperity. Immigration is currently a hot button issue, wars and falling regimes have led many to leave their countries to seek a better life in western countries. The treatment of these immigrants has been lukewarm at best. Countries should change their attitudes regarding how they deal with immigrants. By instituting the right policies, countries can leverage the skills and hard work of immigrants to propel the country to great heights of prosperity and cultural integration. I feel this topic is a pertinent one in addressing the current immigration crisis.
A lot of ink is spewed everyday on the economic merits or demerits of immigration. For the purposes of this topic, I have chosen two scholarly articles to provide insight and guidance. The first source is immigration economics by authors George and Borjas. The book explores economic themes in relation to economics. It examines the effect that immigrants have on their host country from an economical perspective. The book hopes to shape the discourse on immigration by diluting it to its core economic underpinnings that will enable legislators to clearly understand the issue and make better decisions (Borjas, George, 2014). The second source I will use is economic growth & immigration: bridging the demographic divide, written by the immigration policy center. It explores themes of immigration and the economic growth of a nation. As such, it is very relevant to the topic I have chosen and will provide valuable insight.
Scholarly articles should be used because they present the opinion and finding of authors who are much educated on the topic at hand. They allow successive students and authors on the topic to build upon the findings and advance the topic further. They also enlighten one and provide guidance in writing about the topic.

Cross-Border Cartographic Imaginery
The document discusses early modern cartography of the borderlands between Croatia and the Ottoman Empire, Venice, and the Habsburg Empire from the 16th to 18th centuries. It analyzes how the three imperial powers approached mapmaking differently based on their needs and priorities, and how their maps reflected geopolitical realities and identities of the time period. Borderlands and identities were complex and multifaceted, as maps from all sides incorporated elements of both reality and imagination according to the mapmaker's context.
Zagar-Diversity Management
This document provides an outline for a presentation on diversity management and reconciliation in the Balkans. It discusses key concepts like pluralism, diversity, integration and reconciliation. It notes that diverse societies will inherently have tensions and conflicts due to differing interests. Successful diversity management requires recognizing diversity, managing conflicts democratically, and preventing future crises. Reconciliation is a complex process of accepting the past that can establish responsibility and cooperation, but has not truly occurred in the Balkans due to lack of political will.

This document summarizes a PhD research project on inter-group conflict in Northern Ireland and Kosovo. It discusses the main research questions, theoretical frameworks, methodology involving interviews and observations, and preliminary findings. The key findings are that inter-group divisions are most intense and violent among socially and economically deprived communities located at interfaces between national groups, and that nationalist elites manipulate these divisions to maintain control through fear-based politics and prejudice.
2009 Tomic Koludrovic And Petric Croatia Transition
The document discusses building up polities in post-transitional societies using Croatia as a case study. It notes that polities in the Balkan region are often described as "destroyed" or "weak" due to historical and current factors. Croatia experienced accelerated transitions from nation-building in the 1990s to projected EU integration by 2011. This rapid change has led to social and cultural lags as well as unexpected outcomes like conflicting value systems. The document argues that building strong polities requires policies to strengthen political institutions, civil society, and social cohesion in Croatia.
2009 Uzelac Croatia Legal Reform
Judicial reform in Croatia has had mixed results. While some objectives of reform plans have been achieved, such as establishing a Judicial Academy, the impact has been limited and perceptions of corruption remain high. Structural issues include an overabundance of courts, uneven caseloads, and judges performing administrative tasks. Objective indicators show Croatia has fewer lawyers, judges, and legal professionals per capita than European averages. EU accession facilitated some reforms but also led to a focus on appearances over tangible results. Comprehensive and neutral monitoring is needed to further meaningful reform.
2009 Cvitanovic Balkan Soundscapes
This document analyzes how popular music in the Balkans constructs regional identities through references to places, culture, and history. It examines 75 songs from the period of 1912-1999 and finds that they discuss Balkan wars, portray stereotypical masculine and feminine identities, and use vulgar language. Some songs embrace and celebrate Balkan stereotypes as a form of resistance. The analysis suggests that Balkan music both evokes and creates a sense of regional identity, often in relation or opposition to ideas of Europe.
2009 Deegan Krause Cleavages
The document discusses different ways that differences can manifest and divide societies, including ascriptive, attitudinal, behavioral, positional, and census divides. It also discusses how some differences become full cleavages that structure political systems, outlining frameworks for analyzing cleavages based on their groupness, values, structure, participation, persistence, and politicization over time.
2009 Deegan Krause United States
The document discusses different types of divisions and cleavages in American society, including ascriptive differences based on demographics, attitudinal differences based on beliefs, and behavioral differences based on political participation. It analyzes how Americans can be divided along dimensions of culture, socioeconomic status, religion, race, education and other attributes, and how these divisions have manifested politically through different voting behaviors and party alignments over time.
2009 Fleury Badinter
The document summarizes the findings of the Conference on Yugoslavia Arbitration Commission formed in 1991 to make non-binding decisions on legal issues related to the breakup of Yugoslavia. The Commission concluded that Yugoslavia was dissolving due to the inability of the federal government to maintain control without force. It avoided determining questions of self-determination and territorial integrity, instead invoking the principle of uti possidetis juris to establish republics' borders and deny Serbia's claims regarding Serb populations outside its borders. However, the Dayton Accords later ignored uti possidetis juris by allowing the Republika Srpska entity despite the commission's ruling.
2009 Mameli Ethnopolitical Dynamics
The document discusses two perspectives for understanding the power of ethno-politics in the contemporary world: a political-pragmatic approach and a social-psychological approach. The political approach analyzes how ethnic groups can use ethno-politics to gain material and political outcomes. It also examines the role of ethno-political entrepreneurs and how ethno-politics can destabilize states and international relations. The social-psychological approach focuses on how ethno-politics provides individuals with a sense of identity and security, especially during times of social and political uncertainty.
2009 Spasojevic Serbia
The document discusses social cleavages in Serbian society from 2000-2007 based on Lipset and Rokkan's theory of cleavage formation. It identifies several cleavages that emerged in Serbia during this period, including ancient regime vs. new regime, traditionalism vs. modernism, and transitional losers vs. winners. These cleavages reinforced divisions in Serbian society and posed challenges for democratic consolidation by hindering consensus-building across divided groups. The document also examines how events like the Kosovo independence movement could impact Serbia's cleavages and prospects for democracy in the short and long term.
2009 Trajkov Social Capital
1) The document discusses theories of path dependence, social capital, and civil society and how they relate to Croatia.
2) It hypothesizes that while these theories can help explain behavior, they may exhibit circular properties with each other and have the potential to be detrimental in Croatia due to "lock-in" effects.
3) Test results on Croatia did not support theories that higher social capital and civil society necessarily lead to better governance, and instead indicated that tradition could delay modernization and democratic reforms.
Bozic
The document discusses the concept of social space and how it relates to divided societies. It makes three key points:
1. Bourdieu conceptualized social space as a multidimensional space defined by differentiating attributes that give actors power based on their relative positions. These attributes form different types of capital.
2. Divisions within a social space can be seen by looking at the distances between groups of actors, a lack of intermediate positions, and perceived distances between groups that cannot be explained by their capital composition alone.
3. The concept of social space has expanded to include transnational social spaces that are not bound by physical territory but rather defined by social networks and positions that span nation-states. Trans
