Announced by the University of Pittsburgh Countries across the world are experiencing an alarming rise in ethnonationalism, including in Western self-described democracies. Expressed in racial or religious exclusionary terms, these often-violent movements are led or enabled by governments as a means of scapegoating minorities for failed policies and poor governance. In the most extreme cases, these contemporary ethnonationalist movements seek to ethnically cleanse or eliminate an entire religious or racial minority from the nation-state. |
