title = "International legitimation of social movements: The rise and decline of ethnic nationalism in South Africa",
abstract = "Much of the work on the human rights advocacy focuses on how domestic actors successfully transnationalize to influence targets beyond borders. In contrast, this paper focuses on how international society influences domestic movements. I bring together international relations and social movement theories to explore the avenues through which domestic movements can benefit from - or be harmed by - global connections. This requires looking at relatively unsuccessful as well as successful movements, in this case, variants of ethnic and secular nationalism in South Africa. Overall, I stress the importance of legitimation as a neglected dimension of power in the international system.",

note = "Funding Information: Another group criticized Union policies that continued to discriminate in favor of English (Giliomee, 1989, 43). In the north, middle-class Afrikaners continued to challenge the privileges of wealthy landowners and Anglicized bureaucrats at the same time that they feared the rising landless poor. Yet, the epicenter of the language movement remained the Cape, rather than the farming areas in the north. Its leaders, including future apartheid-founding Prime Minister Daniel Malan, sought to establish a standard written Afrikaans through the expansion of newspapers and magazines, the creation of publishing houses for literature, history and textbooks, and its incorporation into school curricula (Moodie, 1975, 46–48; Giliomee, 1989, 43–45). Newly established Christian-National schools received partial funding from Dutch churches — and no state support (Giliomee, 1989, 48). Imitating a Dutch and German trend of the time, academics collected folklore to create an historical tradition, which led to a small art, artifacts, and architecture industry; some pointed to similar efforts for Flemish, Quebecois French, Welsh and Gaelic (Hofmeyr, 1987, 111, 105). Thus religious and educational brokers aimed at building a sense of ethnic community (Moodie, 1975, 69–70; Hofmeyr, 1987, 102–103).",
