  Article:   GUEST EDITORS’ FOREWORD FOR THE SPECIAL ISSUE ON “NATIONALISM AND IDENTITY IN CROSS-NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE” .

  Abstract:  The origin of this issue is the Conference Nationalism and Conflict: Interdisciplinary Methodological Approaches held in Warsaw, Poland in 2012. The purpose of the Conference, and of this special issue of Studia Sociologia, was to bring together scholars from different disciplines on the topic of nationalism, conflict and identity. We sought interdisciplinary perspectives on identifying where, when, how and why such tensions emerge, including remarkable instances of absence of tension, and even ethnic cooperation. Extant research on nationalism is seriously constrained by an overwhelmingly discipline-specific approach. To overcome this shortcoming, this issue aims to explore creative methodologies that (a) recognize elements common across disciplines and (b) allow for the unique contributions of specific disciplines, sociology and political science in particular.

Keywords: nationalism, identity, cross-national research
