Emerging discussions around identity politics are increasingly incorporating intersectionality, considering how various identities (ethnic, gender, class) interact and shape political dynamics. - Postcolonial Perspectives:
The journal is witnessing an uptick in studies that analyze nationalism and ethnic politics through postcolonial lenses, examining how historical colonial legacies impact current ethnic relations and national identities. - Digital Ethnicity and Nationalism:
Research on the impact of social media and digital platforms on ethnic identities and nationalist movements is becoming more prominent, reflecting the changing landscape of communication and political mobilization. - Transnationalism and Diaspora Politics:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Theoretical Models of Nationalism:

The focus on ethnic conflict as a separate phenomenon is declining, with a shift towards understanding its intersections with other issues like governance, democracy, and populism. - Homogeneous National Identities:
Research centered solely on the concept of homogeneous national identities is becoming less common, as the journal increasingly values pluralism and the complexities of multicultural societies. - Static Ethnic Categories:
