Are we at the end of ethnicity?

Abstract

The article aims to present some of the most important approaches of a relatively recent term, i.e. "ethnicity" and its correlative phenomena: ethnic identities, ethnic groups, nations, nationality and nationalism. The theoretical considerations regarding the widely-used, but less-explained concepts are added value by presenting examples from various communities, societies and states, in an attempt to transform in rather clearer ools for analysis. Moreover, at the end of the day, students of tehnicity agree upon the fact that ethnic loyalties are extremely stable.
