Yet, state attempts to create homogenous nations met with resistance. This Element focuses on understanding the rise and subsequent ebbing of sub-state nationalist mobilization in response to state nationalism. Two factors allowed sub-state nationalist movements to be formed and persist: first, state nationalisms that were insufficiently inclusive; second, the state''s use of authoritarian tools to implement its nationalist agenda. But Southeast Asian states were able to reduce sub-state nationalist mobilization when they changed their policies to meet two conditions: i) some degree of explicit recognition of the distinctiveness of groups; ii) institutional flexibility toward regional\/local territorial units to accommodate a high degree of group self-governance. The Element focuses on four states in the region ? namely Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Myanmar.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018659594583,"sku":"9781009583039","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/state-and-substate-nationalism-in-southeast-asia-9781009583039","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
