Identity in Political Culture

Abstract

This panel explores the role of identity in shaping political culture across different contexts. Papers examine how historical repression influences minority identity and integration, how national identity is practised and reinforced through state rituals, and how identities shape attitudes towards federalism in capital regions. They analyse cultural backlash among youth in contemporary cultural conflicts and the activation of local identities as a driver of political behaviour. Together, these studies provide insights into the dynamic interplay between identity, political orientations, and cultural change.
