| Title | Limits of Imagined Community. The Role of Internal and External Factors in Shaping Acehnese Nationalism |
| Summary | Acehnese nationalism is a unique phenomenon. Despite the piety of the region, it is expressed in secular terms. The religion is an important part of Acehnese identity, but the modern Acehnese nationalism was based on ideas of the right to self-determination and sovereignty. For this reason, the thesis argue that the process of imaging a nation by the Acehnese was strengthen by the internal (domestic, within Indonesia) and external (international) factors influencing on-going conflict. The analysis of Acehnese nationalism is done using two methods. First, Benedict Anderson theory of imagined communities explains and defines what is Acehnese nationalism and nation. Secondly, this analysis is supported by an additional examination of internal and external dimension, what clarifies the process of shaping Acehnese nationalism. Moreover, the thesis formulates arguments on sub-state and separatist nationalism. |
