ISSP 2013 - National identity III

After 1989, national identity became a major research topic in the social sciences. In the first half of the 1990´s, Europe experienced a series of events that brought attention of scientists to the issue of national identity - disintegration of multinational states of Central and Eastern Europe (Yugoslavia, Russia, Czechoslovakia), the unification of Germany, the Maastricht Treaty, and the two waves of enlargement of the European Union, the introduction of the European currency Euro and the abolition of many national currencies. These and many other events and processes (national problems in Belgium, Spain, the United Kingdom and Italy, and immigration from non-European countries) stimulated interest in the issue of national identity in the world. In 1995 ISSP research association carried out the comparative survey National Identity I in 23 countries, including the Czech Republic.
