In this Forum we read between the headlines to take a hot-button issue: the role of national identity in violent conflict. Immigration, war, and other forms of social upheaval challenge existing community boundaries and show us how nationalism can be exploited in moments of crisis. As the United States struggles to define who is "American," the Russian Federation works to tame its breakaway regions, various states in Asia seek ways of governing multinational states, and memories of the Balkan crisis shape perceptions of nationalism, the time is ripe for a new discussion of the challenges that national identity poses for the state. This Forum examines when the boundaries that define communities become the fault lines for violent conflict.
