“…Identification theory in psychology states that in order to achieve psychological security, every individual actively seeks identity and ways to enhance and protect this identity (Bloom, 1990). Identification stands for "a oneness with or belongingness with an entity where the individual defines him or herself in terms of the entity to which he or she is a member" (Mael and Ashforth, 1992:104).…”

The paper examines the ideological underpinning and the level of persuasion and authenticity of the architectural upheaval in Skopje, accentuating the annihilation of the socialist period spent within Yugoslavia and the inclusion of a single dominant ethnicity. The paper is the first to suggest the co-branding of the city and nation brand, where attribute associations are transferred from the city brand to the nation brand and back. The paper contributes to the academic codification of the concept of rebranding.

“…Research on collective identity has so far largely focused on small groups and there is a gap in understanding collective identity on the macro level of countries (Huddy 2001). Furthermore, David and Bar-Tal (2009) point out that the few existing psychological studies on national identity, like Herman (1977) or Bloom (1990), generally focus on the process of individual identification and barely address the generic dimensions of national identity and their specific content.…”

“…Thus, seen in the context of nation building process, the issue has been related to what some scholars call, the 'politics of population' -an issue that also makes the distinction between majority and minority communities in the modern state (Icduygu et al, 2008). It was this nationbuilding process which gradually transformed 'a society from the form of a Gesellschaft, or functional existence, to a Gemeinschaft organization, or a homogeneous community' (Bloom, 1993).…”

Problem statement:The discourse of ethnicity, race dominance and Islamization has dominated Malaysian politics since 1957, after several centuries of colonial rule. Although the country has achieved admirable socio-economic progress, the ethnic Indians situation has somewhat remained backward compared to the Malay and Chinese communities. The objective of this article is to examine how ethnic Indians recognize their ethnic identity based on self perception of ethnic status and social upliftment and self assessment of the values of globalization that affect their thinking and opinions. Approach: The study employs a qualitative analysis of the data derived through open and close-ended questions posted on several social media forums (face book twitter and emails) frequented by ethnic Indians. Results: The findings reveal that there was increased dissatisfaction among ethnic Indians regarding the status of their ethnicity and aspects of their social upliftment within the Malaysian polity. The analysis on how they perceive the values of globalization shows increased appreciation of values such as human rights, cultural rights, human security, freedom and right for social upliftment, but at the same time the analysis illustrates high level of discontentment on the actual achievements of these values. Conclusion: Therefore this study concludes that the recent socioeconomic and value changes have influenced how ethnic Indian perceives their ethnicity in the context of a multiethnic mix. Future studies into Indian ethnicity may explore aspects such as the changing ethnic worldviews, affects of human mobility and social ethnic conflicts.
