Abstract:
Right-wing populism, since the beginning of the twenty-first century, has had notable impact on politicizing migration and immigration in Western Europe. In contrast to economic concerns about immigration, the far right's ethnocentric, anti-immigration identity politics became more prevalent in the early 2000s. This study investigates the extent to which the far right's exploitation of multiculturalism and ethnocentrism in Western European party systems remains unrelated to economic conflict. In nine Western European nations, party competition is structured by a more recent multiculturalism-ethnocentrism dimension, and we examine how it interacts with the traditional left-right economic dimension. In 1999, the positions of political parties on multiculturalism and economics were largely distinct; however, by 2009, the two dimensions had become highly correlated, and by 2014, the correlation had grown even stronger. Both the de facto adoption of rightist economic policies by the extreme right and the mainstream right's growing ethnocentrism have contributed to this shift. Some claim that the far right is driving this realignment, and the policy implications are discussed.

Abstract:
Measurements of ethnocentric attitudes are routinely included in survey research but are often criticized because they lack external validity. In a European context there is almost no research in which the focus is on the relationship between ethnocentric attitudes and actual behavior. Most of the existing research has been conducted in North America, where the pattern of interethnic relations is different from the pattern in Europe. Therefore, in this study we investigated whether or not a survey measure for ethnocentric attitudes accurately reflects avoidance behavior toward ethnic minorities in a European context. Among a study sample of Belgian students we found that ethnocentric attitudes had a strong predictive effect on independently observed avoidance behavior. This provides support for the ethnocentrism scale as a measure that has external validity.

Abstract:
Sociology is a science that studies human relations with humans. Sociology as a science that studies humans emerged later than other sciences. Max Weber as a western sociologist who has studied the eastern world as the object of his study is considered to have a lot of ethnocentric content, namely eurocentric. This has implications for the creation of a reflection of Europe, namely the east, which Weber describes eloquently. Although at first Weber tried to explain the process of change in Western Europe, but it became an object of studying the east as the other or the other of Europe. As a methodological tool, the author uses library research. In this study, the writer finds a number of identifications of entocentrism in Max Weber's sociology in primary and secondary sources. The results of this study indicate that the ethnocentrism attributed to Europe which in the course of history will lead to major problems that Weber did not calculate, such as colonialism and imperialism.

Abstract:
In this study, we aimed to examine the intercultural sensitivity levels and ethnocentrism levels, as well as some variables that affect them, of students studying in the Necmettin Erbakan University Theology Faculty in Turkey. A descriptive survey research method was adopted to realize this aim. The Intercultural Sensitivity Scale and the Generalized Ethnocentrism Scale were used as the data collection tools. The sample of the study consisted of 326 students studying in the Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Theology during the 2018–2019 academic year. According to our findings, the intercultural sensitivity level of the theology students was “high,” whereas their ethnocentrism level was “low.” The intercultural sensitivity levels of the theology students differed based on age and exposure to individuals from another country or culture. Ethnocentrism levels in the students differed based on gender, the nationality of the students (Europe, Turkey, Asia-Africa), the size of the settlement unit, and exposure to individuals from different countries or cultures.

Abstract:
This article analyses strategies of perception of Europe that fit into a triple structure. The traditional division into philosophical, cultural, and political Europe is intersected with more fundamental European perceptions determined by different ways of thinking. In this article, these ways are referred to as the closed, the open and the hollow ones. Thus, three different conceptions of Europe arise: the closed Europe characterized by essentialism, ethnocentrism, and monologic consciousness; the open Europe based on the standpoint that protection of one’s own identity and maturity depend on a dialogic relationship with representatives of other identities; and the hollow Europe that makes absolute the imperative of moral self-criticism, as well as identity’s deconstruction and its relativism. The discussion of all three strategies of perception of Europe is followed by the analysis of how they were received in Lithuania. The conclusion highlights the necessity to further research the relationship between all three conceptions of European identity.

Abstract:
Leftist and rightist populist parties in Western Europe both oppose trade openness. Is support for economic protectionism also relevant for their electorates? We assess this in the Netherlands, where both types of populist parties have seats in parliament. Analyses of representative survey data ( n = 1,296) demonstrate that support for protectionism drives voting for such parties, as do the well-established determinants of political distrust (both populist constituencies), economic egalitarianism (leftist populist constituency) and ethnocentrism (rightist populist constituency). Surprisingly, support for protectionism does not mediate the relationship between economic egalitarianism and voting for left-wing populists, or the link between political distrust and voting for either left-wing or right-wing populist parties. In contrast, support for protectionism partly mediates the association between ethnocentrism and voting for right-wing populists. We discuss the largely independent role of protectionism in populist voting in relation to the cultural cleavage in politics and electoral competition, and also provide suggestions for future research.

Full text
Abstract:
The article explores the legal status of consumer ethnocentrism in the EU and how the three simultaneous crises of the present time (economic, food and climate change) challenge the EU Court's judgment in Buy Irish, which presents the foundation for uprooting negative consumer stereotypes towards products from other Member States and protectionism. Various national campaigns of EU Member States that try to raise consumer ethnocentrism are discussed in light of the established case law of the EU Court, thereby highlighting new circumstances, in which the principle of free movement of goods, particularly of food, is currently situated. In this respect, in a recent Green Paper on promotion of the tastes of Europe (COM (2011) 436) the Commission adopted an apparently new approach towards local and regional food markets, by expressly recognizing the importance of short distribution channels for national traditions, food security (and self-sufficiency) and combating climate change. This "new approach" could have considerable consequences for the legitimacy of national initiatives to promote domestic purchase, thereby compromising a thirty year old judgment - Buy Irish and free movement of goods in general.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to deliver an integrated overview on the development of marketing in the Eastern European countries from the communist era to the present time and answer the main research question: How has marketing in the Eastern European countries changed from the communist era to the present time? In addition to this, three propositions are composed and further investigated.   The research philosophy of this thesis is based on a subjectivist ontological view and an interpretivist epistemological approach. The deductive research approach studies the research question, while adopting a qualitative research method. In addition, the practical research adopted for the purpose of this thesis is based on conducting multiple semi structured interviews with respondents, representing a diverse sample of firms. The firms are divided according to their country of origin, providing an inside and an outside view on the development of marketing in the Eastern European countries. At the same time, all the firms interviewed fulfill the criteria of being present on the Eastern European market. The final results are gained by the combination of the primary data, collected during the interviews, and secondary data, gained from a literature review undertaken by the authors.   The theoretical contribution of this thesis is represented by the empirical findings. They provide a complex overview on the most important political, economic, social and cultural changes in the Eastern Europe from the communist era to the present time, while linking them to the development of marketing within this selected geographical area.

Full text
Abstract:
Le « cosmopolitisme » de Valery Larbaud est un présupposé qu’il faut aujourd’hui passer au crible d’un réexamen critique. Toute la complexité de l’ensemble de l’œuvre larbaldienne tient à son traitement des frontières géographiques, politiques, littéraires ou linguistiques. Dans quelle mesure ce dit « métis des lettres » – dont le métissage s’avérera des plus calculés – s’ouvre-t-il à l’Autre, renouvelle-t-il la représentation littéraire autant que la reproduction linguistique de l’étranger ? Quelles sont les révolutions et les réactions du cosmopolitisme larbaldien, dont les traits contradictoires réagissent à l’environnement intellectuel contemporain ? Devenu un « cliché », dans son sens le plus photographique, le cosmopolitisme larbaldien, qui n’a longtemps offert qu’un « index » de noms ou un « kaléidoscope » d’images, exige aujourd’hui une fouille complète de ses données. Substituant aux approches in vitro de l’œuvre larbaldienne prélevée sous verre et sortie de tout contexte, une analyse in vivo rendant compte du mouvement même d’une œuvre à l’intime complexité, nous souhaitons offrir une lecture intégrale, historique et critique du cosmopolitisme larbaldien. Larbaud, que la critique hagiographique a élevé au-dessus des hommes, est un homme de son temps, dont l’image figée sur papier glacé doit céder la place à un portrait mouvant des plus nuancés
Valery Larbaud’s “cosmopolitanism” is a presupposition that must now be sifted through a critical review. The complexity of Valery Larbaud’s work undeniably comes from his treatment of geographical, political, literary and linguistic borders. But to which extent can it be said that this “métis des lettres” – whose métissage still remains carefully calculated – welcomes the Other, or renews the linguistic and literary representation of the stranger? What are the revolutions or counter-revolutions of his cosmopolitanism, whose contradictory features react to contemporary intellectual environment? Larbaud’s cosmopolitanism has become a cliché in the exact photographical sense, offering nothing but an “index” of names or a “kaleidoscope” of images. I argue that it should undergo critical analysis, on the basis of a much more encompassing set of data. Substituting to in vitro approaches of Larbaud’s work taken under glass and out of context the more accurate nuance and movement of in vivo approaches, we aim at offering a thorough historical and critical reading of his work. Larbaud, whose hagiographic criticism has raised above men, is a man of his time, whose image, frozen on glossy paper, must give way to the most nuanced moving portrait

Abstract:
The present exploratory study, framed in agenda-setting theory, analyzes the way European and US newspapers frame racism and ethnocentrism issues, on the background of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. By combining quantitative and qualitative methods, 2 research hypotheses and 9 research questions were explored. The results showed the distribution of articles that used a positive frame and the ones that used a negative frame was relatively equal across geographical regions. The US media have shown as the most ethnocentric nationality the Spanish, while the European media, the Scottish. There is an agreement across different geographical regions that the French and the German have the most tolerant or anti-discriminatory actions or attitudes. The most prominent theme to describe nationalities’ tolerant attitudes was the power of football to unify peoples and to enhance global understanding. Both the American and the European media described the Argentinean team mostly in terms of athletic skill.

This work examines the construction of the images on Brazilian natives created by the Portuguese Jesuit Fernão Cardim, approaching the Christian look in the 16th century. The primary objective is to observe and note the outstanding presence of the ideas and values of the medieval world on Brazil in Father Fernão Cardim s work, aiming to detect permanences and changes in a study that focuses the long duration. The theoretical and methodological course is anchored in the perspective of ethnocentrism and of imaginary, considering them as a category, object of knowledge and fact in the world. The imaginary and the ethnocentric attitude are predominant factors in the construction, legitimation and justification of actions by the Jesus Company and the Portuguese State toward the people who lived in 16th century Brazil. This ethnocentric imaginary persisted in Brazilian history and one often observes actions, attitudes and positions that carry an inheritance of this way of thinking the Brazilian indigenous peoples. The research was based on Le Goff s theoretical assumptions and was supported by anthropological analyses on the indigenous reality. The approach starts from the analysis of Father Fernão Cardim s writings and the permanence of an ethnocentric look on the indigenous

Esse imaginário etnocêntrico perdurou na historia do Brasil e não raro se observa ações, atitudes e posturas que carregam uma herança dessa forma de pensar os povos indígenas do Brasil. A pesquisa foi pautada em pressupostos teóricos de Le Goff e apoiou-se em análises antropológicas sobre a realidade indígena.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
While the Arab spring succeeded in ousting the long-term dictator led governments from power in many Arab countries, leading the way to a new democratic process to develop in the Arab world, it did not end the old suspicions between Arab Muslims and the West. This research investigates the beginning of the relations between the Arab Muslims and the West as they have developed over time, and then focuses its analysis on perceptions from both sides beginning with 9/11 through the events known as the Arab spring. The framework for analysis is a communication perspective, as embodied in the Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM). According to CMM, communication can be understood as forms of interactions that both constitute and frame reality. The study posits the analysis that the current Arab Muslim-West divide, is often a conversation that is consistent with what CMM labels as the ethnocentric pattern. This analysis will suggest a new pathway, one that follows the CMM cosmopolitan form, as a more fruitful pattern for the future of Arab Muslim-West relations. This research emphasizes the factors fueling this ethnocentric pattern, in addition to ways of bringing the Islamic world and the West to understand each other with a more cosmopolitan approach, which, among other things, accepts mutual differences while fostering agreements. To reach this core, the study will apply a direct communicative engagement between the Islamic world and the West to foster trusted relations, between the two.

Abstract:
Sociology was founded in 19th century Europe and was institutionally formed in the mid-20th century United States. Its core concepts were shaped by those two historical-cultural milieux. As a result, the discipline sees the world as centred on the Global North, with the rest of humanity still embedded in ‘tradition’. Though sociologists recognize this approach’s flaws, this origin still shapes their teaching and research. This chapter shows how concepts developed in two non-Euro-American civilizations can improve contemporary sociology’s understanding of aspects of social life worldwide. The first set of concepts comes from Confucian China; it emphasizes the important role that maintaining right relationships plays in religious life. The second set comes from 14th-century North Africa; it helps understand the interactions between ethnicity and religion in a deeper way than is possible for a sociology that puts these two things into separate conceptual boxes. These illustrate the benefit for world sociology of overcoming the discipline’s theoretical ethnocentrism.

Abstract:
This chapter engages in a descriptive analysis of authoritarianism in Western Europe and its relationship to economic, social, and political attitudes. It considers the definition of authoritarianism and how it is distinct from related concepts such as conservatism. The descriptive analysis addresses several important questions. First, it examines the distribution of authoritarianism in West European societies, along with its relationship to education, age, and gender. Then, it examines the relationship between authoritarianism and socio-cultural, political, and economic attitudes. The analysis finds that authoritarianism is closely related to socio-cultural attitudes on matters such as acceptance of same-sex marriage, endorsement of traditional gender roles, immigration, and ethnocentrism. Authoritarianism also correlates with attitudes towards democracy and political trust. However, high authoritarians are not meaningfully different from low authoritarians on economic questions. These findings point to an important conclusion for this book’s argument. Because high authoritarians vary from low authoritarians most on socio-cultural attitudes, it is likely that the factors driving the worldview issue are socio-cultural rather than economic in nature.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter explores how arriving immigrants in Europe, which come from more universalist cultures, slowly marginalized the scraps of cultural truth remaining in a far more relativist European society. It argues that both relativism and oikophobia follow from a society's success, noting that relativism becomes the easiest hook by which oikophobia can attach itself to the Zeitgeist and become profuse. The chapter then shifts to dissect a few features of relativism as it applies in a social context, that is cultural and moral issues. It elaborates on the most obvious and therefore oft-repeated, logical protest against relativism. And that is that it falls by its own logic, as a sort of liar's paradox. As the chapter highlights, even though relativism claims the truths of all cultures to be of equal value, relativism is itself a Western idea. Because of this very specific cultural and philosophical background, the chapter underlines that relativism must itself be labeled as a sort of ethnocentrism, precisely that which the relativists purport to be rejecting. It concludes by considering many facets of relativism that make it tempting and attractive as a society moves toward oikophobia.

The authoritarian and totalitarian ethos was formed under a powerful influence of ideologies of the communist parties and politocracy in these countries so that the political ethos of politicians dominated the political ethos of the citizen. The breakdown of the real socialism and its unsuccessful attempts to complete accelerated liberal modernization of these societies caused turbulence of social values in addition to the general moral chaos. The moral crisis has deepened; anomie increased as well as the society’s inclination to commit crime. This makes difficult the creation of the cultural matrix of the civil society and its moral values. The liberation and development of the political ethos of the civil society as an element of the democratic political culture require structural and mental changes in these societies. They imply abandoning the value matrices of the traditional and political societies based upon collectivism, tribalism, authoritarianism, egalitarianism, ethnocentrism, etatisme and mythologization of the past. They require the use of the citizens’ active potential as well as that of their associations, their readiness for political commitment, self-initiative, respect of the general interest and a courageous defense of freedom and social justice.

Abstract:
This chapter analyzes Eastern Europe, where ethnocentric organized crime dominated the separatist movements of Greater Albania (Macedonia), Transnistria (Moldova), and Nagorno-Karabakh (Azerbaijan). The collapses of the USSR and Yugoslavia have produced separatist movements across Eastern Europe. Some secessionists triumphed, others stagnated in “frozen conflicts,” and still others descended into protracted bloodshed. For states and wannabe states alike, organized crime — with its rogue gallery of gangster brokers, entrepreneurs, and warlords — was integral to making and unmaking nations. The Azeri host state deployed gangsters to combat separatists in wartime and sustain its oil regime in peacetime. In the cases of the Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia (Bosnia-Herzegovina) and Donbas (Ukraine), mafias' indiscriminate smuggling from within government structures obstructed separatists and host states alike.
