| Title | Two Sides of the Same Coin: Il/liberal Projects of Ethnic Homogeneity against Shrinking Populations |
| Summary | Persistent demographic trends of low fertility rates and emigration patterns have led to declining populations in developed countries, posing biopolitical questions for states regarding the demographic composition of their countries and subsequent methods of population control. How states address the phenomenon of their shrinking populations varies across the globe based on governments’ political ideologies and stances on issues such as family, gender, migration, and individual autonomy. However, states’ approaches to demographic policy are complicated by their larger international projects and ideological standings amidst changing values and norms. This research then focuses on the relationship between a states’ ideological position in the international system and its discourse surrounding domestic demographic policy – centering cases of countries’ population decline as an investigative area of discursive research. |
