Memory Conditionality: Armenian Genocide Politics in France, 1998–2012
Scholars widely recognize that memory laws related to the Holocaust have facilitated the integration of several Central and Eastern European countries into the European Union (EU). However, less attention has been paid to how memory laws can, for some political actors, work to keep candidate countries out of the Union. For example, Armenian Genocide memory laws (AGMLs) have played an important, understudied role in Turkey’s bid to become an EU me…
Ideological backtracking in ethnic parties: The case of the Swedish People's Party of Finland
Scholars have examined the effects of mainstreaming on ethnic parties in various geopolitical contexts throughout Europe. These ethnic parties consistently promote socially liberal policies, constrain ‘illiberal’ actors and prevent democratic backsliding. However, the mainstreaming of right‐wing populist (or far‐right) parties in Europe is causing mainstream ethnic parties to change their behaviours in some unexplored ways, too. In this analysis,…
Co-ethnic core intermediaries: Swedish speakers in Finnish party politics
Scholars have unpacked the conditions out of which electorally successful ethnic parties in Europe emerge and the important roles they play in diverse contexts. But the existing research overlooks important political actors, whose influence explains some of the behaviors of these ethnic parties. In this analysis, we explore the different roles of co-ethnic core intermediaries (CCIs) – that is, officials who come from the same ethnic groups as tho…
Embedded memory wars: Italy’s 2019 Armenian Genocide recognition
Scholars often associate the political instrumentalisation of memory with right-wing populists. But this focus somewhat obscures the fact that elected officials across the political spectrum instrumentalise memory in their efforts to shape perceptions and influence behaviours. In fact, the success of memory laws often depends on the fact that MPs from diverse political parties support the same projects not only to validate their own views but als…
Generation-based position taking: Unpacking Finland’s decision to join Nato
Scholars have identified the important roles personal characteristics — such as religion, gender, and race — play in influencing policymakers' position-taking behavior. One important yet overlooked personal characteristic is generation. This personal characteristic is not only influencing individual policymakers’ position-taking behavior; it is also changing some important political realities across Europe. An illustrative example of these change…
Diasporic multiculturalism
Noting an overreliance on North American and European-based understandings of race and ethnicity, many sociologists have called for research in new spaces. But the same conceptual and regional limitations apply to several other studies. One example of this is multiculturalism. Scholars tend to associate multiculturalism with international migration and ethnic pluralism. As such, they typically study multiculturalism in the most ethnically diverse…
Memory Fusion, Diplomatic Agency, and Armenian Genocide Recognition in the Czech Republic
Scholars often emphasize how right-wing political actors in Europe use memory laws to undermine democratic traditions and revise historical accounts. But a broad range of political actors (with diverse motivations) support memory laws. Synthesizing research in international political sociology and memory politics, this analysis examines the relational and social practices of diplomats from small states and the creative strategies of center-left p…
A community of values’: Unpacking U.S. intermediation in Latvia’s 2022 Holocaust restitution law
Transitional justice scholarship has importantly analyzed how European groups use Holocaust-related legislation to create a unified political culture. While this research has made many valuable contributions, it does not include various other external actors, who also influence European political culture through transitional justice measures related to the Holocaust. This analysis expands the existing research about transitional justice and Holoc…
Memory Entrepreneurship: Armenian Genocide Recognition in Europe
Scholars have analyzed how political actors appropriate Holocaust-related memory laws to whitewash the past and undermine democratic traditions in various European countries. However, political actors in Europe have debated several other memory laws, which far-right MPs appropriate to serve their own purposes. The recognition of the Armenian Genocide is an understudied example of this phenomenon. Drawing from data collected in four countries—Bulg…
Constructivist memory politics: Armenian genocide recognition in Latvia
Scholars have done a great deal to unpack the motivations sitting behind nationalists' appropriation of Holocaust-related memory laws in several eastern European and Baltic states. While these accounts have shed important light on memory politics, there remains much scope for further study. For example, several Eastern European and Baltic states have passed resolutions recognizing the Armenian genocide, as well. Furthermore, the existing literatu…
Sweden's 'complicated' relationship with genocide recognition
Scholars have unpacked the rhetorically nuanced ways political actors alter state narratives in resisting pressure to comply with international norms. But many of these rhetorical strategies apply in other contexts, where there exists sufficient norm ambiguity, too. For example, in response to Turkey's long-standing denialism, many governments have been asked to recognise the Armenian Genocide (or 1915 Genocide of Christians in the Ottoman Empire…

“My second choice was Armenia”: motivations for diasporic return migration among Iranian Armenians to Armenia
Beyond brokering for recruitment: Education agents in Armenia
International student migration (ISM) makes up an increasingly significant part of all international migration. Scholars have unpacked various aspects of this global mobility. While ISM scholarship has largely focused on a particular stream of migration—namely, student migration from the Global South to the Global North—recent studies have expanded this research to include more diverse case studies. ISM scholarship has also analysed education age…
Out-Europeanising’ the Competition: Armenian Genocide Recognition in Bulgaria
Building on Europeanisation scholarship, this article unpacks the instrumental rhetoric of Armenian genocide recognition in Bulgaria. In Bulgaria’s 2015 parliamentary hearings on the issue, diverse political actors—from liberal to nationalist political party members—formed unlikely coalitions and strategically instrumentalised Armenian genocide recognition as a way to signal ‘Europeanisation’ in pursuing very distinct ends
Institutional Activism and Ethnic Intermediation in Post-Communist Romania
Existing studies on legal approaches to ethnic minority representation often highlight different systems’ strengths and weaknesses. While this scholarship provides important insights into the growing body of literature on minority representation, the topic remains largely under-theorized. Because systems of ethnic minority representation clarify the organizations and philosophies of diverse states, more theoretical analyses can enrich the descrip…
Ethnic intermediation in contemporary Sydney
Ethnic communities adapt diverse strategies to mobilise in distinct geopolitical settings. The scholarship has done much to unpack how large, marginalised ethnic communities intermediate between themselves and the state. Nonetheless, these analyses have largely neglected smaller, more prosperous ethnic communities. This article seeks to broaden the scholarship on ethnic intermediation by presenting a case study of contemporary Australian Armenian…
Glendale's Ethnopolitical Entrepreneurs: Suburban Immigrant Political Incorporation
Concentrated immigrant settlement of US suburbs is transforming how many newcomers become politically incorporated. While the scholarship traditionally assumed political incorporation takes place after social or cultural incorporation, novel political agents—or ethnopolitical entrepreneurs—have arisen from within immigrant communities and inverted this assumption. In these dynamic ‘ethnoburbs’, ethnopolitical entrepreneurs play an increasingly im…
The Armenians of Los Angeles: Rethinking “Americanization”
The existing scholarship typically measures “Americanization” along structural lines—such as knowledge of public policies, percentage of life spent in the U.S., or proficiency in the English language. While these variables are certainly important, they overlook another important dimension of newcomers’ post-migration experiences—namely, immigrants’ psychological attachment and sense of belonging to the American social, political, and economic fab…
Ethnic Intermediation in Contemporary Buenos Aires
Scholarship on ethnic intermediation has paid much attention to how demographically important but socioeconomically disenfranchised groups broker power within various geopolitical contexts. But it has not yet unpacked how intermediation operates among electorally small yet economically prosperous communities. Contemporary Buenos Aires offers a series of case studies in which visible, affluent ethnodiasporas have had considerable success making su…
Perceptual Disconnect: An Ethnographic Account of Immigrant Political Incorporation
Scholarship often assumes that there is a correlation between successful immigrant political incorporation and newcomers’ ability to make sustained claims and reallocate city or state resources. By influencing or nominating legislators, scholars assume immigrants become civically engaged and politically empowered. However, these assumptions have not been tested. This article explores the personal experiences and perceptions of Armenian immigrants…
Constructivist theories of political incorporation
Drawing upon ethnographic data collected in Glendale, California, this study applies constructivist theories of ethnic politics to political incorporation research. The analysis demonstrates how the evolving loci of political incorporation—from marginalized racial minorities in urban centers to multi-ethnic migrants in prosperous suburbs—have given rise to new agents (ethnopolitical entrepreneurs) in new spaces (ethnoburbs). In these evolving spa…
The Armenians of Glendale: An Ethnoburb in Los Angeles's San Fernando Valley
Glendale may house the most visible Armenian diaspora in the world; however, it remains among the most invisible in print. The following begins to shed light on this community by providing a brief background and demographic profile of Armenians in Glendale. The article then attempts to expand discussions of Chinese “ethnoburbs” by situating Glendale Armenians in these discussions. Despite scholars’ expansion of the concept, the ethnoburb has had …
Connection without Engagement: Paradoxes of North American Armenian Return Migration
Return migration from the diaspora to the ancestral homeland has emerged as an important sub-field within migration studies. The scholarship has introduced new ways of understanding migratory trajectories by exploring the roles of migrants' ethnicity and imagination and has identified novel ways of unpacking migratory patterns whose motivations are not centered on economic mobility. But the scholarship has introduced a paradox by documenting both…
