"National Identity and Partisan Polarization examines how national identity has become
a central issue in political and social life across the world. Questions of identity-who
should be counted as a "true member" of a society and who deserves assistance from
the government-have displaced other social and economic issues across nations in many
countries. This study considers the role of identity theoretically and in the United
State, the United Kingdom, France, Austria, Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, Israel,
and Taiwan. Identity varies over time and over countries. Some such as Sweden have
a more "inclusive" sense of identity-one does not need to be born in the country or
have ancestry to be considered a "true Swede." Other countries such as Austria, France,
Hungary, Poland, Israel, and Taiwan have a more "exclusive" notion of identity-where
one was born and a common heritage (race, religion, ethnicity) are seen as essential
for seeing others as "true" members of society. "Outsiders" are viewed negtively,
often as threatening a national culture and not deserving of government assistance.
In the Unted States, the United Kingdom, and France, the major political parties take
opposing positions on identity. In the United States and the United Kingdom, issues
of identity have become highly correlated (polarized) with social and economic issues.
In the former Communist countries of Hungary and Poland, the dominant parties have
taken nationalist positions on identity but favor generous welfare policies for people
of their own background. In Israel and Taiwan, social and economic issues have become
less important than nationalism"
