Dear Colleagues,
The latest issue of the Journal Ab Imperio (4/2019) is now available at https://muse.jhu.edu/issue/42103
This issue concludes Ab Imperio’s 2019 annual program “Hybrid Conflicts and Diverse Societies: Civil Wars and Global Peace,” which tackles the ambivalent role of conflict that both tears apart communities and reconstitutes groupness through social mobilization. Another ambiguity of conflict concerns its ability to erase the fundamental difference between the local and the global, which is the focus of this issue: “Adjusting Scale: Global Conflicts – Local Consequences, and Vice Versa.”
Ab Imperio Quarterly is an international humanities and social sciences peer-reviewed journal dedicated to studies in new imperial history and the interdisciplinary and comparative study of nationalism and nationalities in the post-Soviet space. The Journal serves as an international forum for scholars reflecting on historical and contemporary encounters with diversity in composite societies.
