Nationals, citizens, countrymen: a new analysis of identities with a focus on Central Asia

Article Abstract:

Existing concepts of nation and state rely on several characteristics, namely, self-identity, nationalism, territory and cultural homogeneity. However, the rise and fall of the USSR has created problems in delineating nations and states in Central Asia. The emergence of the USSR forced many ethnically-cohesive groups to split and develop self-identities of their own. The fall of the USSR caused these ethnic groups, which have the same cultural roots, to seek one another as different from themselves.
