Voegelin, Ethnicity, and Basque Separatism

چکیده
1. Ethnicity is "in" these days. This is likely a result of today's postmodernism and globalization, which naturally arouses a stress upon the particular and local in reaction to modernity's and globalizations's stress upon the general and ecumenic. That means it is in danger of becoming a "topos," one of those standard themes people just keep repeating in a doxic way, without really attending to whether such talk advances our understanding of the real issues confronting us. So we will need to be cautious as we proceed.

متن کاملIntergroup helping in response to separatism.
Despite its prevalence and widespread media coverage, separatism as a phenomenon is barely covered in psychological investigations, and the majority's response to separatism has been completely ignored.
