“…Living beyond the British Isles may provide crucial distance from the context of ‘hot’ conflict in Northern Ireland (Stevenson and Muldoon, 2010) and contribute to a more cosmopolitan appreciation of diversity, willingness to seek peaceful coexistence and a critical stance towards the supremacy of nation and state (e.g. Beck, 2000; Fozdar & Woodward 2021; Held, 2003; Kuruoğlu & Woodward, 2021; Salazar, 2021). The experience of daily life in the Republic of Ireland may in contrast reinforce the Irish identity and aspirations for Irish reunification among Catholics while allaying sectarian fears and uncertainties among Protestants.…”

“…Migration and other forms of geographical mobility have been associated with a cosmopolitan appreciation of social, cultural and embodied differences, a willingness to seek a common ground for peaceful coexistence and a critical stance towards the supremacy of nation and state (e.g. Beck, 2000; Fozdar and Woodward 2021; Held, 2003; Kuruoğlu and Woodward, 2021; Salazar, 2021). This may however involve complex and reciprocal effects between cosmopolitanism and mobility.…”

Migration and partisan identification as British Unionists or Irish Nationalists in Northern Ireland

The notion that mobility weakens collective norms and increases tolerance has a long pedigree in sociology. In this article, we examine the association of migration with partisan identification as British Unionists or Irish Nationalists in Northern Ireland, a region where the overlap of opposing religious and national identities is reflected in the residential segregation of its population. In representative samples of the population, we find that Irish Nationalist identification among Catholics and British Unionist identification among Protestants was lower among people not born in Northern Ireland and return migrants from beyond the British Isles. Having lived in the Republic was associated with more Nationalist identification among Catholics but less Unionist identification among Protestants and others. Moreover, having lapsed from the family religion is associated with decreased partisan identification. While international migration has in many countries led to increased tensions, conflict and the ascendance of exclusionary national populist movements, our results thus suggest that mobility beyond the British Isles has contributed to less nation–state conflict in Northern Ireland.

“…Global solidarity is fellow feeling based on common concerns and shared values (Gould, 2007). Suggested values include common humanity and dignity (Appiah, 2007; Fozdar and Woodward, 2021), human rights and justice (Pogge, 2008), and mutual commitment (Calhoun, 2002). Gould (2007) suggests that people’s commitment to justice and human rights can be strengthened by transnational empathy.…”

This article examines how growing fears, insecurities and uncertainties during the COVID-19 pandemic have prompted an emotional distance from others. The aim is to explore how global solidarity and nationalism are challenged and constructed as collective emotional processes concerning ‘others’. Drawing on social theories of emotions during crises and emotions towards others, this study looks at policy decisions around vaccines and health services and their associated emotions in the context of Korea, which has a relatively small migrant population and a short history of supporting people in lower-income countries. The study finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has strengthened nationalism, both ethnic nationalism and cosmopolitan nationalism. This points to the need to highlight global norms such as human rights and justice and cultivate foundational emotions such as empathy and compassion. This article suggests paying attention to the role of emotions in generating othering practices and developing global solidarity.

A New Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere? With, against, and beyond Habermas

The main purpose of this paper is to assess the validity of the contention that, over the past few decades, the public sphere has undergone a new structural transformation. To this end, the analysis focuses on Habermas’s recent inquiry into the causes and consequences of an allegedly ‘new’ or ‘further’ [erneuten] structural transformation of the political public sphere. The paper is divided into two parts. The first part considers the central arguments in support of the ‘new structural transformation of the public sphere’ thesis, shedding light on its historical, political, economic, technological, and sociological aspects. The second part offers some reflections on the most important limitations and shortcomings of Habermas’s account, especially with regard to key social developments in the early twenty-first century. The paper concludes by positing that, although the constitution of the contemporary public sphere is marked by major—and, in several respects, unprecedented—structural transformations, their significance should not be overstated, not least due to the enduring role of critical capacity in highly differentiated societies.
