Ethno-Demographic Change and Nationalism in the UK and Beyond

[email protected]; twitter: @epkaufm; web: www.sneps.net

Numbers = Power?

• Demography usually affects politics indirectly, or in association with another factor

• Ethnonational change not about world population growth but:

• Uneven population growth across political, national and ethnic units

• Democracy and nationalism mean numbers=power• So more numbers = more power OR rising threat

Ethno-demographic change and conflict

• To the extent ethnic groups and nations resemble biological ‘populations’ AND the link between ethnicity and territory has been sacralised by nationalism

• Where ethnic groups have fluid boundaries OR there is no sacralisation of ethnie-territory link, no conflict

Demography and Ethnic Conflict: Northern Ireland

• "The basic fear of Protestants in Northern Ireland is that they will be outbred by the Roman Catholics. It is as simple as that." - Terence O’ Neill, Unionist PM of Northern Ireland after resigning, 1969

Examples

• N. Ireland, Lebanon, Kosovo, Bosnia, Israel-Palestine, Cote D’Ivoire, Kenya, Uganda, Assam (India)

• Rise of Germany, Rise of USSR, Rise of Islam, Rise of China, Decline of the West….

• In a less violent way, demographic change can lead to increased threat perceptions, even in peaceful societies
