We argue that national identification can be framed temporally, such that people may differently identify with their nation's past or present. Further, we argue that temporal national identification has important consequences for attitudes towards social changes. Within this new theoretical framing, we tested the empirical separability and predictive utility of past national identification and present national identification in South Korea and Australia. Results showed that, in both countries, past and present national identifications are correlated but empirically distinct constructs, which independently contribute to general national identification. Past and present national identifications were also shown to be grounded in distinct notions of national continuity. Most importantly, in both countries, present national identification positively predicted favourable attitudes towards social changes and globalization, whereas past national identification negatively predicted these attitudes. These findings suggest that temporally framed national identification is an important construct in the domain of social identification and in research on social changes and globalization.

“…The arrival of the "First Fleet" of convicts at Botany Bay in 1788 began a trickle of immigration that would turn into a wave as thousands of settlers eventually immigrated to Australia. 52 Coastal growth expanded along major waterways, eventually culminating in the creation of five colonies: New South Wales (founded in 1788), Western Australia (1829), Victoria (1834), South Australia (1836), and Queensland (1859). 53 Immigration rates to Australia as a whole were relatively steady by 1852 as people traveled to the continent to reunite with family members and take advantage of socioeconomic opportunities.…”

“…In Australia, the practice of financial assistance to poorer states that begun immediately after 1901 was aimed at reducing discontent in Western Australia, Tasmania and, to a lesser extent, South Australia (Commonwealth Grants Commission : 4–12). Western Australia was a reluctant participant in the federation; not only was it at the territorial periphery of the new country and “felt itself particularly neglected by the government on the other side of the continent” (Macintyre : 182), but the transfer of customs and excise duties to a Commonwealth government would strongly hurt its economy. By the 1920s, dissatisfaction with the economic and fiscal consequences of the union for the state had produced a strong secessionist movement in Western Australia.…”

The politics of accommodation in multinational states sometimes features an important, yet often overlooked, fiscal dimension. In fact, the scholarly literature on the accommodation of nationalist movements emphasizes territorial autonomy, access to power and representation within central institutions, and the promotion of the state national identity, but it is virtually silent on how patterns of territorial fiscal redistribution, and more specifically programs of horizontal fiscal equalization, may contribute to accommodating sub‐state nationalism. This article looks at the Canadian case and analyses the multidimensional relationship between equalization policy and Québécois nationalism. It explains how a key motivation behind the creation of Canada's fiscal equalization program in 1957 was to “end” the institutional and political isolation of Québec and how equalization may have, thereafter, contributed to making Québec's secession less appealing to a good number of Quebeckers than it would have been in the absence of this program. Simultaneously, the article discusses how equalization may have contributed to a certain political backlash against Québec in the other provinces, thus providing mixed evidence in the assessment of the accommodation potential of equalization policy.
