Oftentimes, when one asks about the most famous Polish figure, people’s first response would easily be “Chopin.” Indeed, to many, he is the symbol for Polish nationalism. Exiled in Paris during the Russian incursion on his home soil during the 1830s, Chopin composed a large body of work that is closely related to his Polish roots: 58 mazurkas and 18 polonaises, among the more than 200 pieces he...

In 2006, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) homepage briefly featured woodblock prints from Meiji Japan that were part of John Dower and Shigeru Miyagawa’s Visualizing Cultures open course. One print depicted Japanese soldiers decapitating Chinese prisoners during the 1894-1895 First Sino-Japanese War. Dower is the preeminent scholar and critic of both American and Japanese racism ...

Case studies suggest that ethnic groups with autonomous institutional arrangements are more prone to secede, but other evidence indicates that autonomy reduces the likelihood of secession. To address this debate, we disaggregate their autonomy status into three categories—currently autonomous, never autonomous, and lost autonomy—and then unpack how each shapes the logic of collective action. We...

Nationalism creates and recreates a sense of distinctive identity and autonomy based on the Enlightenment idea of human freedom that enables people to survive in a modern world in which unpredictable change has become the norm. While, in the medieval world, the feudal states invoked religion and cultural resources to make people servile, the modern state invokes identity in a language of servin...

This paper explores how the increase in army size observed in early modern times changed the way states conducted wars. Starting in the late 18th century, states switched from mercenaries to a mass army by conscription. We model the incentives of soldiers to exert effort in war and show that as army size increases paying mercenaries is no longer optimal. In order for the population to accept fi...

Studies of the relationship between nationalism and localism have brought evidence that these orientations might maintain either relations of opposition or congruence. By conceiving of localism mainly as a strategy, this paper argues that localism can be used alternately as an anchor of nationalist narrative or as an alternative to nationalism by the exact same community. This argument is illus...

Since 1905, when they were annexed by Japan’s Shimane prefecture, Liancourt Rocks—known as Dokdo by the Koreans and as Takeshima by the Japanese—have been a sticking point in relations between the two countries. Although South Korea has had effective control over the islets since the 1950s, Japan continues to contest those claims. More recently in the 2000s, several incidents have served to agg...
