Sinopsis Buku Nationalist Exclusion And Ethnic Conflict: Shadows Of Modernity
Nationalism and the prevalence of ethnic conflict are features of contemporary politics. Many commentators have viewed such conflicts as a return to some primitive impulse. Andreas Wimmer’s book argues that nationalism is in fact characteristic of the modern world, deriving from the nature of the state.
He argues that the nation-state rests on membership of a particular ethnic or national group, and the exclusion of non-members, creating the potential for conflict. Containing detailed studies of Mexico, Iraq and Switzerland, this is an original contribution to a topical debate.
Wimmer shows that nationalist and ethnic politics shaped modernity in a much more fundamental way than acknowledged by classic and contemporary social sciences. The modern state governs in the name of a people that was defined in ethnic and national terms.
Democratic participation, equality before the law and protection from arbitrary violence were offered only to the ethnic group in a privileged relationship with the emerging nation-state. According to varying geometries of power, the dynamics of exclusion took on different forms. Where nation building was ‘successful”, immigrants and ‘ethnic minorities’ are excluded from full participation; they risk being targets of xenophobia and racism.
In weaker states, political closure proceeded along ethnic, rather than national lines and leads to corresponding forms of conflict and violence. In his chapters on Mexico, Iraq and Switzerland, Wimmer provides extended case studies that support and contextualise this argument.
