“…Ethno‐national group rights are thereby explored in their multiple dimensions differentiating between proper group or community rights, group‐differentiated rights (Kymlicka, 1995), communal rights and individual rights with a collective dimension (Donders, 2016). This fruitful discussion meets with an equally rich literature that conceptualises the nature of the nation and nationality on a wide spectrum from essentialism to constructivism (e.g., Coakley, 2012; Özkırımlı, 2000; Smith, 1999). Although the division between subjectivists and objectivists is still alive today, this paper aims to uncouple the firmly paired notions: objective and other‐classification versus subjective and self‐classification.…”

Western societies over the last few decades have seen an increased interest in questions of group belonging and group identities, including ethno-national groups. According to essentialising or constructivist paradigms, belonging to a national group is commonly conceptualised in the range of objective versus subjective criteria, where objective entails ascription and subjective, self-identification. This paper suggests disentangling the paired dimensionsobjective and other-classification versus subjective and self-classification-by analysing the late Habsburg Empire. I argue that the introduction of national registers in the new provincial constitutions and electoral laws of Moravia, Bukovina and Galicia accelerated an objective understanding of nationality and increasingly favoured other-classification over self-classification in cases where national belonging had become an administrative category. Yet, to do justice to the individual's subjective feelings, authorities were supposed to investigate objectively a citizen's subjective identification-a procedure that can be termed "objectivisation." Such objectivising procedures thus reconciled an individual's subjective identification with an increasingly objective understanding

“…The two countries represent, respectively, the largest socialist-communism and democracy in the region. Vietnam's economy has grown exponentially since it joined the World Trade Organization in 2007 (Sakata, 2013) but the freedom to opine and respect for human rights remain minimal (Freedom House, 2020). Indonesia is the biggest market in the region and has been the champion of democracy since the fall of President Soeharto in 1998.…”

Contact tracing apps have magnified the potential usefulness of mobile media and communication technologies for responding to disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Their efficacy and ethical debates have become the focus of recent studies in the Global North. Reasons for using contact tracing apps among users with disability living in the Global South, however, seem to be understudied. Through cases from Indonesia and Vietnam, this study found that nationalistic values were among the reasons for using contact tracing apps as reflected in the users’ faith in the state and inclination to support its collective objective to control the pandemic. The users believed the state would be accountable in managing the personal and mobility data the contact tracing apps collected. Using contact tracing apps represented the users’ sense of capabilities to individually partake in the existing efforts to control the pandemic.

“…One answer stems from the new literature on nationalism "from below" that attempts to answer the question of how ordinary people, manifesting different political and social orientations, consume the national symbols offered by elites and intellectuals-while also producing their own (Deloye 2013). For Smith (1998), ethnosymbols of nationhood act as a Durkheimian "social fact," a cultural independent variable that shapes society and politics. Ethnosymbols are reproduced by vernacular or state institutions over generations, which attach people affectively to the nation.…”
