scale. While this is a thought-provoking and useful piece, and which follows from the editors’ opening contributions, it does rather stand alone from the core chapters that precede it. Overall, this useful, informative and accessible collection succeeds in making us more aware of the many ways in which national identity is negotiated within and across spatial scales and how those spaces themselves are never neatly defined or separate. The various contributions show that multilayered national identities entail both looking forward while simultaneously harking back to capture ideas of national authenticity with which people can somehow identify. In so doing, the national co-exists both alongside and above other local or regional identities.

ABSTRACT This article re-examines the conceptual framework of the ideology of the ‘nationally minded’ Greeks that emerged from the Greek Civil War and the East–West divide. The basic components of this ideology, such as nationalism, anti-communism/anti-totalitarianism and the allegiance to the West -shared by the right and the centre-right- are explored through the transnational and transatlantic intercrossing of concepts and patterns of thought. Despite authoritarian policies restricting civil rights only to the ‘nationally minded’, the Greeks participated in the global ‘ideological war’ on behalf of ‘Greek Liberty’ and the ‘Free World’.

ABSTRACT In 2020, the Sars-CoV-2 (also known as the COVID-19/Coronavirus) crisis resulted in the closure of most of Europe’s borders, both external and internal. What consequences does this have for border regions as living spaces? This article uses the Danish-German border region as an example for the complex impact of the Sars-CoV-2 crisis on a European borderland. A special focus is placed on the region’s reciprocal national minorities on either side of the border. This article shows that these groups have been most impacted by the nation state measures of restricting and controlling access across the border, as this has reduced their opportunities of kin-state contact and interaction.

ABSTRACT During recent years media discussion over the gravity of climate change has increased rapidly. One of the most used bywords has been ‘carbon footprint’, a concept with a moral appeal to global responsibility and a sense of global environmental togetherness. However, ‘carbon footprint responsibility’ cannot be separated from nationalistically loaded affects and their representations but instead it has effected new articulations that support state-centric ideologies, offering a fresh starting point for re-conceptualizing the theories of nationalism. This article analyses how the Finnish media constructs a contradictory discourse in which the moral debate over carbon footprint responsibility merges with nationalistically loaded argumentation.

ABSTRACT This paper is centred on exploring how young people from Sikh and Hindu backgrounds, who are British born and living in the London area understand Britishness. By utilising transcripted interviews from eighty respondents, this research uncovers and presents the core perceptions and understandings that these young people have about British national identity and the ways in which it is accommodated (or not) alongside other important sources of belonging in their lives. This paper presents the diverse ways in which these young people understand Britishness. In particular, ‘thick' and ‘thin’ conceptualisations of Britishness and the role of family structures in shaping belonging are examined. It is suggested that any discussion of how ethnic minorities relate to national identity requires a better understanding of the diverse ways in which this form of identity is understood and accommodated. This, in turn, will encourage a more inclusive and productive debate on the role of national identity in multi-cultural Britain. This is particularly salient in a post-Brexit Britain where the themes of nationality and belonging have been brought into the socio-political fore once more, and newer immigrants are facing the challenges of feeling included and becoming British.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between First World War Centenary commemoration and state-sponsored nationalism in New Zealand. In the national museum’s Gallipoli exhibition, commemoration shifts from its traditional emphasis upon military sacrifice for the nation. Film-related special effects technology promotes individual affective identification with suffering and loss, but also extolls the ingenious achievements and talents of both New Zealand soldiers historically, and Gallipoli’s producers. National identity is aligned with state promotion of creative and technological innovation as central to economic growth. The national myth-making of Gallipoli locates a technologically sophisticated modern New Zealand in the historical experience of the War.

ABSTRACT In 2018, the Japanese government introduced a controversial education policy, which made moral education (dōtoku) a formal (as opposed to supplementary) subject in elementary schools, and the new scheme intends to teach, foster, and grade patriotic feelings among school children. By referring to semi-autobiographical narratives of 80 Japanese college students, this exploratory study delves into the question of how the Japanese college youth perceive the efficacy of patriotic education. Do we need to teach school children how to love Japan? If so, how? If not, why? This study suggests that the youth narratives do not necessarily align with this shift.
