- Summary:
- What drives the politics of majority nationalism during crises, stalemates, and peace mediations? In his innovative study of majority nationalism, Neophytos Loizides answers this important question by investigating how peacemakers succeed or fail in transforming the language of ethnic nationalism and war. The Politics of Majority Nationalism focuses on the contemporary politics of the "post-Ottoman neighborhood" to explore conflict management in Greece and Turkey while extending its arguments to Serbia, Georgia, and Ukraine. Drawing on systematic coding of parliamentary debates, new data sets, and elite interviews, the book analyses and explains the under-emphasized linkages between institutions, symbols, and framing processes that enable or restrict the choice of peace. Emphasizing the constraints societies face when trapped in antagonistic frames, Loizides argues that wisely mediated institutional arrangements can allow peacemaking to progress. Book jacket.
