One state – one nation: the naturalisation of nation-state congruency in IR theory

This paper suggests that the notion of nation-state congruency has become a ‘leitmotif in International Relations (IR) theory, especially since the end of the Cold War.

Taiwan’s Mainlanders: A Diasporic Identity in Construction

As Taiwanese nationalism gains ascendancy over Chinese nationalism in Taiwanese society, Mainlanders are increasingly adopting a diasporic identity as Chinese in Taiwan. The labels and boundaries between ethnic groups are clearly related to the construction of a national identity on Taiwan; and need to be interrogated for the lessons they can teach us about the relationship between migration, decolonization, diasporas, and nationalism.
