PRIO Policy Brief
Talleraas, Cathrine & Marta Bivand Erdal (2015) Contestations over National Identity and Diversity, PRIO Policy Brief, 10. Oslo: PRIO.
How and when is national
identity and nationhood
debated, and what does this
reveal about the boundaries of
national identity? Drawing on
analyses of opinion pieces from
French and British newspapers,
this Policy Brief examines how
national identity is debated,
contested and challenged in
light of national and
international news events
during the autumn of 2014. This Policy Brief is a publication
from the research project
‘Negotiating the nation:
Implications of ethnic and
religious diversity for national
identity’ (NATION).
