| Description | The paper deals with the inclusion process of Czech Germans and their relationship with Czechoslovakia between the two world wars. It uses Jeffrey Alexanders concept of social inclusion and outlines the German minoritys inclusive strategies adopted in reaction to the nationalistic policies in Czechoslovakia. In analysing the proces, it employs Brubakers concept of nationalism and describes the complexity of the developement and highlights a shift from inclusion toward secession in the mid-1930. It argues that the minority accepted alternative inclusive strategies, because, due to the political developements, Czech Germans did not identify with the nation-based Czechoslovak state and that the minoritys general support of the Sudetendeutsche nationalist party in the late 1930s was a reaction to the political and institutional conditions in Czechoslovakia. |
