“Formation of Nation-State and Minority” Research Team

The team researches on formation of a nation-state, and minority as the subject and object of a nation-state performance.

The history of a nation-state formation stereotype is that minorities were to be put out of the way, unified and homogenized.  However, minorities are not always being the matter to be restrained and homogenized by the nation-state. In a number of cases the minorities, expecting preservation of their significance, had been positively expressing loyalty to the nation-state, or participating in formation or administration of the nation-state.  In addition, the nation-state, hoping to utilize resources under possession of minorities so as to unify a nation-state, was also compromised at a certain rate.  This research team relates the hitherto understanding of nation-state and the minorities, in order to clarify the fundamental of the dynamic relationship between the two.
