Nationalities Papers is the place to turn for cutting edge multidisciplinary work on nationalism, migration, diasporas, and ethnic conflict. We publish high-quality peer-reviewed articles from historians, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, and scholars from other fields. Our traditional geographical emphasis has been on Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia, but we now publish research from around the globe. As the journal of the Association for the Study of Nationalities (ASN), our mission is to bring together scholars worldwide working on nationalism and ethnicity and to feature the best theoretical, empirical, and analytical work in the field. We strongly encourage submissions from women, members of minority and underrepresented groups, and people with disabilities.

Photo Taken by Roi Pérez: In 2022, I was conducting fieldwork in Scotland as part of my research on Scottish nationalism. In the picture, we can see a march organized by “All Under One Banner.” This association organizes various marches in favor of Scottish independence throughout the country, urging participants to carry Scottish flags. The march ended at the Scottish Parliament, where members of the association and representatives of the party in government, the Scottish National Party (SNP), argued for Scottish independence as the best option for Scotland’s future. This march had special symbolism because Scottish independence supporters were awaiting the final decision of the Supreme Court on whether the Scottish Parliament could autonomously organize a legal independence referendum. In the image, we see a group of men leading the demonstration dressed in typical Scottish attire while playing the bagpipes. Behind them, protesters carry a flag with the inscription: “Our Right to Decide.” (Royal Mile, Edinburgh, October 1, 2022).
