		Finally, for a growing number of Israeli Jews, Israel is the focal point of their national identity, but the vast majority of those "Israelis" are of Jewish descent.
		The next crisis that we might refer to as involving issues of identity was at the end of the eighth century BCE after the destruction of the northern kingdom by Assyria when Judah under the rule of King Hezekiah extended its control over much of the territory of the destroyed kingdom.

	IOG: Online Article - Bond and Rosie: National Identities in Post-Devolution Scotland
		National identity still matters, but not to the extent and in the manner that we would perhaps expect.
		Therefore, rather than concluding that devolution has initiated a further disassociation between national identity, party identification and favoured constitutional option, a more robust conclusion would be that the relationship between these factors remains as complex in the wake of Scottish devolution as it was before the re-establishment of the Scottish Parliament.
		What we must now explore is the effect that national identity has upon levels of agreement (Table 14).

	An Caorthann - Samhain '94: Peace and national identities
		More importantly perhaps, national identity (or any other reified identity) can be seen as ultimately restrictive of individual self-development, a barrier to human communication, and incompatible with a transcendence of the distinction between "insiders" and "outsiders".
		It is conventionally assumed that national identity is a given need, and that the problem is to define appropriate units and construct appropriate meanings.
		Lastly, national identity does not have to be seen as a constant of human nature.

	Journal of Social Issues: The Interdependence of Israeli and Palestinian National Identities: The Role of the Other in Existential Conflicts
		The resulting threat to each group's identity is further exacerbated by the fact that each side perceives the other as a source of some of its own negative identity elements, especially a view of the self as victim and as victimizer.
		It goes on to show how the nature of the conflict impedes the development of a transcendent identity by creating a state of negative interdependence between the two identities, which is further exacerbated by the fact that each side perceives the other as a source of some of its own negative identity elements.
		The nature of the conflict, however, impedes the development of a transcendent identity by creating a state of negative interdependence between the two identities such that asserting one group's identity requires negating the identity of the other.

		[1] Various versions of this essay were presented at Museums and National Identity, Jewish Museum, Berlin, October, 7, 2001 and La Représentation de Soi et de L’Autre dans les Musées, Musée de la Civilisation, Québec, February 19, 2002.
		In national museums, those challenges are compounded because nation states and their citizens often depend on simplistic definitions of the Self and the Other[10].
		As in Holland, the national myths of tolerance and equality are hard to dislodge both in and outside the Jewish community.

		Secondly, the free determination of who are a states' nationals is bound to create problems of coordination between states with regard to acquisition, loss and changes of citizenship.
		The Hobbesian perspective of international relations as a latent state of war between sovereign nations is thus complemented by the view of foreign citizens as potential enemies.
		Human rights are by definition rights of natural persons independently of their citizenship, national affiliation or territorial residence.

	Scottish Parliament
		Scottish nationalists began to argue that the funds from this oil were not benefiting Scotland as much as they should.
		The Scottish Parliament returned after the Restoration of Charles II to the throne in 1660, and, although initially docile, gradually came to exert considerable influence over the Crown—removing the clergy's right to attend in 1689 and finally abolishing the Lords of the Articles in 1690.
		The elections for the Scottish Parliament were the first in the UK to use the Additional Member System (AMS), which is a method of proportional representation (although various forms of PR had already been used in EU Parliamentary elections, and in Northern Ireland for local councils and the Assembly).

		The following quotation from the Quaid-i-Azam’s reply to Gandhi’s denial of Muslim nationality should suffice to bring out the cultural divergence between Pakistan and India:
		Thirdly, there is an inevitable contradiction between the process of regional integration whose contours will ultimately be defined by the dominant member state(s) and the maintenance of the national identities of the smaller member states.
		We are a nation of a hundred million and, what is more, we are a nation with our own distinctive culture and civilization, language and literature, art and architecture, names and nomenclature, sense of values and proportion, legal laws and moral codes, customs and calendar, history and traditions, aptitudes and ambitions.

	ISSEI 2000 - section III - workshops
		We may find that in some cases the importance of building a national identity has diminished as other collective identities have become more salient.
		The workshop would address the subject of "Formation and Reformulation of National Identities in Central and Eastern Europe." The principal objective would be to describe the factors shaping the emergence of postcommunist identities in such countries as Poland, Belarus, Russia, and Slovakia inter alia.
		Particular attention would be given to the proposition whether national identities have had greater significance in the post communist period than other types of collective identities based on class, region, and gender.

	National Identities
		James Cisneros analyses the Argentine military's vision of national identity and considers a broader question: how identity is constructed by a centralised institutional apparatus, a key theme in Latin America.
		Nor is there any real attention to theoretical approaches from within the study of nationalism, the most fertile source of research on national identity.
		However, this collection dwells less than expected on the relationship between sociopolitical change and the formation of identity, and more on the ontology that is so prominent in literary, cultural and discourse theory.

		The eruption of identity politics poses new challenges to museums at a time when their position in the political and cultural landscape is shifting.
		Museums, as national institutions charged with the task of displaying and representing national identities, are a critical site for examining the changes of the last quarter-century.
		We are witnessing the building of new museums, from Bilboa to Warsaw and beyond; the reorganization of existing museums (particularly in Central and Eastern Europe); and the reclaiming of national treasures.

	Scottish national identity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A considerable majority of the people of Scotland share a Scottish national identity, usually with considerable pride in their country, its history and with the achievements of their countrymen including those who have emigrated and their descendants.
		Identification of others as Scottish is generally a matter of accent, and though the various dialects of the Scots language and Scottish English (or the accents of Gaelic speakers) are distinctive, people associate them all together as Scottish with a shared identity, as well as a regional or local identity.
		The Scottish identity is largely free from ethnic distinction, and it has been noted (Sunday Herald 4 September 2005) that many of "immigrant" descent see themselves (and are seen as), for example, Pakistani and Scottish: Asian-Scots.

	José Antonio Giménez Micó. Caliban in Aztlan. Review by Horacio Machín and Nicholas Spadaccini
		For Giménez Micó the politics of identity is an ongoing process of differentiation, subject to change and redefinition.
		What is interesting about this essay is that it does not fall into essentialisms, even if the treatment of identity as something unstable could be dismissed in certain quarters as impractical for purposes of cultural and political mobilization.
		The struggle over identity construction is also seen through other important documents.

		Threatening Others: Nicaraguans and the Formation of National Identities in Costa Rica explores the representation of the Nicaraguan “other” in the Costa Rican imagery.
		Carlos Sandoval-García argues that Nicaraguan immigrants, once perceived as a “communist threat,” are now victims of an invigorated, racialized politics in which the Nicaraguan nationality has become an offense in itself.

		They compared this period with that after World War I, placing emphasis on both a national archaeology as a historical science and on research into the history of archaeology, going back to the 16th century.
		Linking archaeological finds from German territories to people known from Greek and Roman writers enabled scholars to interpret these finds as the remains of their national forefathers, and to postulate an ethnic paradigm.
		During the 1930s, certain radical-nationalistic German archaeologists tended to view the period of flourishing archaeological research in the early 19th century as an expression of a national awakening resulting from the Napoleonic wars.

		These aspects of Scottish society which it is the duty of the left to combat, such as racism, are as much an integral part of the Scottish national identity as those other, more admirable qualities of which we prefer to speak.
		Consequently there is no reason why `civic' nationalism cannot be transformed into `ethnic' nationalism in their turn under certain determinate conditions, just as it did in Germany - a modern, developed and highly cultured capitalist society - during the 1930s.
		What is interesting about the argument about `civic' nationalism is that it is precisely the one that has historically been used to defend multi-national oppressor nationalisms like those of Britain and the US.
