The Relation between Globali A Sociological Enplanation of Ethnic Nationalism in Golestan Province

This paper studies the extent of ethnic nationalism among the Turkmen students and investigates factors which led to the persistence of nationalistic attitude in their view. Andrew Heywood theories are employed to study the complexity and contradictory aspects of nationalism. Hence three types of nationalism are presented for further steps of study. We expect to have the ethnic nationalism in Golestan province being weakened, but it was not the case. Four variables are introduced to investigate the persistence of ethnic nationalism: recognition of ethnic identity, unequal distribution of economic, political and social opportunities, having the social demographic variables controlled. The results show significant relation of independent variables with independent ones. dependent variables are gender, marital status, recognition of ethnic identity, unequal distribution of economic, political and social opportunities.
