“…While the anarchical nature of this interstate system and the changing dynamics of hegemony and polycentrism have been discussed at length, it was only very late that a counter-trend calling for the study of connections forged by nonstate institutions emerged (Nye) or that scholars began to wonder why the global political system emerged as an international one (Mayall, 1990).

“…International relations assumed that nation-states are the adequate entities for studying the world. While the anarchical nature of this interstate system and the changing dynamics of hegemony and polycentrism have been discussed at length, it was only very late that a counter-trend calling for the study of connections forged by nonstate institutions emerged (Nye) or that scholars began to wonder why the global political system emerged as an international one (Mayall, 1990). Similarly, post World War I1 scholarship on the newly independent states approached nation building as a necessary, although somewhat messy aspect of the decolonization process (see, e.g., Wallerstein, 1961).…”

The article examines methodological nationalism, a conceptual tendency that was central to the development of the social sciences and undermined more than a century of migration studies. Methodological nationalism is the naturalization of the global regime of nation‐states by the social sciences. Transnational studies, we argue, including the study of transnational migration, is linked to periods of intense globalization such as the turn of the twenty‐first century. Yet transnational studies have their own contradictions that may reintroduce methodological nationalism in other guises. In studying migration, the challenge is to avoid both extreme fluidism and the bounds of nationalist thought.

“…Despite the fact that the plurality to encompass has become more diverse due to the global expansion of international society, the main challenges to state pluralism seem to have emerged in the West due to nationalism and the commitment to universal human rights. While nationalism like state pluralism opposes cosmopolitanism and empire, nationalism challenges state pluralism through secessionism and irredentism (Mayall, 1989; Miller, 2000: 176–177). The notion of individual human rights challenges the priority of the state and hence state pluralism.…”

Varieties of international pluralism

This paper shows that while there seems to be more or less a general acceptance for plurality as a condition of world politics and at least a vague commitment to a pluralist ideal, the challenge remains to formulate a fruitful account of international pluralism. While dominating approaches to international theory present international pluralism as essentially a by-product and instrumental, this paper suggest an alternative way to conceive of international pluralism when defending the ancient concept variety as a better guide to approach both the understanding of plurality as the human condition and the notion of international pluralism. The paper concludes that it is preferable to accept a variety of pluralist conceptions rather than go on searching for a theoretical conception standing above the controversy; accepting pluralism in a sense involves rejecting just one version of pluralism.

“…Por tudo isso, é inevitável que os temas da identidade nacional e do nacionalismo se entrecruzem, até porque a maior polêmica relaciona-se com a existência de visões mais extremistas. Proeminentes estudiosos sobre nacionalismo, como Smith (1979), Calhoun (1993) e Mayall (1993), sublinharam a necessidade da sua compreensão para a paz, domando os seus excessos, verificada a persistência de um sistema mundial baseado em estados, apesar de todas as organizações supranacionais, e dado não ter ainda aparecido uma lealdade humana mais forte ou um princípio legitimador da organização política do Estado moderno capazes de transcender o ideal nacional.…”

Língua portuguesa como marca distintiva: uma escola de identidade timorense na ocupação indonésia

Resumo Os timorenses lutaram durante 24 anos (1975-1999) contra a violenta ocupação indonésia e o esforço educativo para os indonesiar. Esta pesquisa, um estudo de caso sobre o Externato de São José (ESJ) para compreender o propósito de manter o ensino em língua portuguesa (LP), quando esta foi proibida e perseguida por atrasar a integração efetiva na Indonésia, segue uma metodologia qualitativa, sob o paradigma interpretativo. Para compreender com maior profundidade os objetivos da escola, decidiu-se ouvir os seus principais agentes e testemunhas privilegiados, realizando uma análise de conteúdo de dez entrevistas semiestruturadas com antigos estudantes, professores e membros da sociedade. A pesquisa reforça a ideia de que a identidade é sedutora, de que ela depende da adesão das pessoas e projeta a sua pertença a algo maior, a um povo com uma cultura singular, cujo idioma, em articulação com outros aspetos culturais, tem um papel decisivo. Os resultados mostram 124 ocorrências que evidenciam a intencionalidade da escola na promoção da LP como marca distintiva da identidade timorense, sendo destacada pelos entrevistados como essência dessa identidade, como rejeição da língua indonésia (LI) e da integração cultural ou como repositório da cultura timorense, de influência portuguesa ou latina. A valorização identitária consignada à LP, atribuída inclusive por pessoas com posições opostas sobre o estatuto político do Timor-Leste (pró-independência ou pró-integração na Indonésia), uniu a geração anterior educada em português e parte da juventude na luta pela independência, contrariando eventuais ambiguidades na sociedade timorense quanto ao estatuto da LP como língua oficial.
