Colonial traditions and indigenous language recognition: Insights from Taiwan and Canada
The momentum toward Indigenous language rights affirmation is relatively recent in liberal democracies, and its dynamics aren’t fully understood. What determines the adoption and content of Indigenous language policies and laws? How does the nature of state and Indigenous institutions influence Indigenous language policy? Are some models of Indigenous-state relations more effective than others in fostering Indigenous cultural revitalisation? This…
Language Politics and Recognition under Tsai Ing-wen
This paper surveys developments in language politics and policy in Taiwan under Tsai Ing-wen’s presidency (2016–present). Drawing on historical-institutionalist premises, it shows that recent language policy developments were path-dependent and built upon initiatives proposed under Chen Shui-bian’s presidency (2000–2008). The paper argues that the comparative success of Tsai’s initiatives owed not only to her party forming a legislative majority,…
Mouvements sociaux, politique des partis et l’évolution du nationalisme hongkongais
Ce texte se penche sur l’émergence et l’évolution du nationalisme hongkongais dans le contexte de la politique des partis et de la politique contestataire au cours des dernières années. Identifiant d’une part des effets de polarisation et de fragmentation du système des partis, et d’autre part un élargissement des revendications identitaires, ce texte trace le processus par lequel le nationalisme hongkongais a évolué à partir de mouvements ethnic…
Making Hong Kong Chinese: State Nationalism and its Blowbacks in a Recalcitrant City
Drawing from the literatures on strategic identity shift and on signaling, this article examines the strategies used by Beijing to impose its monist brand of state nationalism on Hong Kong. Given the nominally high degree of autonomy granted to Hong Kong, Beijing has been unable to impose its nationalism directly from above. Instead, it has made use of cooptation strategies so as to cultivate increasingly vocal and influential loyalist circles am…
The emergence and transformation of self-determination claims in Hong Kong and Catalonia: A historical institutionalist perspective
Using a historical institutionalist framework emphasizing the importance of transformative events, this paper seeks to explain the sudden emergence of self-determination claims in Hong Kong and their transformation into separatist ones in Catalonia. The paper argues that the inflexibility of the state in addressing moderate demands for regional autonomy has played a major role in the emergence and radicalization of these demands. In Hong Kong, th…
Taiwan's Indigenous Languages Development Act: Democratic politics, transitional justice and the quest for diplomatic recognition
In May 2017, Taiwan's legislature passed the Indigenous Languages Development Act (ILDA), which came into effect in June of that year. This paper traces the process and context that have led to the act's adoption, and provides an overview of its symbolic and substantive content. In doing so, this paper draws attention to the importance of contextual factors in the act's adoption. The ILDA had been in the works since the early 2000s, and it is onl…
Assessing the influence of ideologies on vote choice in an ethnoterritorial context: The case of Taiwan
The literature on vote choice in Taiwan has regularly identified ethnoterritorial ideology – preference for independence or unification with China – as the main ideological cleavage in Taiwanese party politics. This paper contributes to the literature by investigating the effects of two more ideological dimensions on vote choice: social and economic. Based on data from the Taiwan Election and Democratization Study (TEDS) for the 2016 presidential…
National identity politics and cultural recognition: The Party System as Context of Choice
This paper looks into the determinants of cultural recognition in ethnically diverse democracies that are divided on national identity, arguing that political parties’ cultural ideologies are not entirely predetermined by their national identity position. It posits that, rather than just a tool for national identity building, cultural recognition in such societies is also a way for parties to show commitment to their ethnic electorate. In this se…
Operationalizing cultural citizenship: Towards a Concept of Culture Regime
This paper contributes to the study of cultural citizenship by laying the foundations for a concept of culture regime. Depicting culture as a malleable concept that encompasses both particularistic and universalistic elements, the paper emphasizes the potential of the concept of culture regime to bridge those of citizenship, language and ethnicity regime. While presenting narrow conceptions of culture as ethnic identity as a defensible compromise…
Complétude institutionnelle et sécurité linguistique dans le monde sinophone: Les Hakka à Hong Kong et à Taïwan
Ce texte vise à souligner la pertinence de la notion de complétude institutionnelle en tant qu’outil conceptuel et théorique en l’appliquant à un contexte peu étudié : celui de la sécurité culturelle des minorités linguistiques han dans la grande région sinophone. En se penchant sur la minorité hakka à Hong Kong et à Taïwan, il vise notamment à exemplifier comment des paysages institutionnels propres à ces deux endroits ont contribué à créer ou à…
Legislating language in Taiwan: From equality to development to status quo
The mother tongues as second languages: Nationalism, democracy and multilingual education in Taiwan
After nearly half a century of authoritarianism characterized by Chinese nationalism and Mandarin promotion, democratization in 1990s Taiwan was accompanied by a Taiwanization movement featuring calls for the revitalization of local languages and the promotion of linguistic equality. To that end, the government began planning for local language education, and, starting in 2001, children have had to attend one weekly hour of mandatory local langua…
Japanese models, Chinese culture and the dilemma of Taiwanese language reform
Book review of Ann Heylen's Japanese models, Chinese culture and the dilemma of Taiwanese language reform. Wiesbaden: Otto Harrassowitz Verlag, 2012
In search of linguistic identities in Taiwan: An empirical study
Ethnolinguistic affiliation and national identity have been important cleavages in Taiwanese society and party politics. However, the place of language in Taiwanese identity and its influence on different aspects of political behaviour remain understudied. This paper tries to palliate this deficiency by analysing the relationship between language spoken at home and three variables: national identity, national envisioning and party support. It ask…
Intercultural Citizenship, Civic Nationalism, and Nation Building in Q uébec: From Common Public Language to Laïcité
This article analyses the current citizenship‐nation building nexus in Q uébec in light of government publications and recent public discourses on ethnocultural pluralism and immigrant integration. First, the article surveys the changing relationship between Q uébécois nationalism and citizenship according to political circumstances in Q uébec, suggesting that debates over immigrant integration have played a central role in the creation of a civi…
