Discussion: Is xenophobia the down side to nation-building?

ISS Goedgedacht

The Institute for Security Studies and the Goedgedacht Forum has invited you to join them for a discussion concerning “Is xenophobia the down side to nation-building?” See RSVP details below.

Some of the issues to be addressed include: - To what extent is what we are seeing a hang-over from the identity politics of the past? Or is this a foreseeable consequence of the nation-building project of the 1990’s and 2000’s? Or is it a mixture of both? - Who benefits from the violence continuing? - How do we build a positive-nationalism? Is such a concept possible?

Date: 11th August 2015 Time: 09:30 for 10:00am – 1:00pm Venue: Townhouse Hotel, Cape Town
