Ethnopolitics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ethnopolitics, formerly known as Global Review of Ethnopolitics, is a peer-reviewed academic journal focusing on the intersection of ethnic groups and politics. It was established in the United Kingdom by the Political Studies Association's Specialist Group on Ethnopolitics. Its managing editors are professors Karl Cordell and Stefan Wolff.^[1]

According to its publisher's description^[2], the journal's primary focus is on:

"the analysis, management, settlement, and prevention of ethnic conflicts, on minority rights, group identity, the intersection of identity group formations and politics, on minority and majority nationalisms in the context of transitions to democracy, and on the security and stability of states and regions as they are affected by any of the above issues. Particular attention is also devoted to the growing importance of the international dimension of ethnopolitics, including diplomatic and military interventions, and the increasing impact of globalisation on ethnic identities and their political expressions."

Ethnopolitics is now published in collaboration with the Association for the Study of Nationalities‎.
