Description: 
Stark political change from the 1980s - disintegration of multi-ethnic states,
the displacement of some ethnic groups from their homelands - produced complex
contested changes in ethnicity, homogenization, and the rise of nationalism.
Ethnic phenomena are tightly intertwined with political and social processes
going on in the world and are contingent on specific geographical,
socio-political, and cultural contexts. The diversity of ethnicity related
manifestations results in a variety of scholarly approaches from questioning
the relevance of the idea of ethnicity in modern cosmopolitan societies and
studying ethnic relations in a broader context of social and cultural
relations to underscoring a specific nature of ethnic identity among other
identities and the effect of conceptualization of ethnicity problems on lives
of concrete ethnic groups.

Rather than theorising general tendencies, concepts, and terminology, this
multidisciplinary collection aims to present various in-depth case studies of
ethnicity-related issues in concrete geographical and socio-political contexts
using research paradigms from linguistics, social, cultural, and media
studies.

The collection will address (though not limited to) the following questions:
- How much are ethnicity problems relevant in the present world? The answers
are dependent on concrete contexts and are expected to differ from country to
country. 
- Do ethnic causes such as movements for ethnic minorities' rights correlate
with broader democracy movements in multi-ethnic non-democratic countries?
- What traditional ethnic boundary markers are relevant today in various
socio-political and cultural contexts?
- How is the phenomenon of ethnicity viewed both by insiders belonging to an
ethnic group and outsiders belonging to other groups? How do ethnic group
members describe themselves and how are they described by others?
- How is ethnic identity manifested in everyday life or in some specific
contexts? How much are ethnic self-identification and self-ascription related
to
and dependent on feelings and emotions? How are the ideas and feelings of
togetherness and otherness revealed?
- What are the stereotypes of ethnic groups about themselves and what
stereotypes do outsiders have about them?
