RE: Data on Identity in Eastern Europe



Dear Mr.Scott Orr,

Although I do not have a list of references on what you requested, I
have the following suggestion in addition to what has previously been
posted on the list as available materials. Try to reach the materials
of the so called International Comparative Research on National
Identity initiated in 1993 and carried out within the International
Social Survey Program in 1995-1996. The comparative research
coordinated by Max Haller has been carried out according to the
"multinational design" research method in the following 24 countries:
Russia, Letonia, Bulgaria, Poland, Czeck Republic, Slovakia, Hungary,
Slovenia Austria, East-Germany, West-Germany, The Nederlands, Sweden,
Norway, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, USA, Australia,
New-Zeland, Japan, The Philippines. In all of these countries a
representative sample was used varying between 1000 (Hungary) and 2438
(Australia).

Among many others, the research addressed the following issues:
spontaneous national identity, references in defining the national
identity, ethnocentrism, national proud, national ideologies and it's
impact, the issue of nation state, political nations - cultural
nations etc. I have a hard copy of the study written by the Hungarian
researchers (Gyorgy Csepeli: [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> , Antal Orkeny: [email protected]

might give you more details or provide you with other sources.

All the best,
