State Identities and the Homogenisation of Peoples

Autorentext
Heather Rae is Research Fellow and Deputy Director of the Graduate Studies in International Affairs Program, Australian National University.

Klappentext
Heather Rae examines how state leaders use the victimisation of minorities to legitimise their authority.

Zusammenfassung
Victimization of ethnic and religious minorities has been used by rulers throughout history to assert their own control and legitimacy over communities brought together against alleged 'outsiders'. Rae demonstrates how these practices predate nationalism and how they prompted the development of international norms for legitimate state behaviour.
