  • Järve’s account of Estonia and Diatchkova’s account of Latvia raise two issues: classification of the regime and future trends. Järve claims that Estonia can already be viewed as an ethnic democracy for the one-seventh of its Russian-speaking population who are citizens. As the proportion of non-citizens steadily drops, Estonia as a whole will increasingly qualify as an ethnic democracy. Less critical is Diatchkova who takes it for granted that Latvia is already an ethnic democracy.
  • The political system is democratic. All permanent residents who so wish are granted citizenship, including human, civil, political, cultural and social rights. In addition to individual rights, the minority is accorded some collective rights and sometimes even granted autonomy with certain limitations. Minority citizens are allowed to conduct an intense struggle for equal rights without facing repression by the state or the majority. They are also permitted to join coalitions with majority groups. Democracy is, however, diminished by the lack of equality of rights. Non-members of the ethnic nation enjoy rights that are in some way inferior to the rights of members and endure discrimination by the state. Rule of law and quality of democracy are reduced by state measures intended to avert the perceived threat attributed to nonmembers.
  • In this controversy over classification, I tend to regard Estonia and Latvia as nationstates that are slowly developing into ethnic democracies. They do not exhibit the essential feature of ethnic democracy, namely, that permanent residents are enfranchised and able to avail themselves of democratic procedures in their fight for change. Estonia and Latvia deny Automatic citizenship to Russian-speakers despite the fact that they are, and they see themselves as, a permanent part of the state and demand automatic citizenship. In contrast, Israel is an ethnic democracy because the Arab minority is extended citizenship and the non-citizen Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are not and do not want to be part of Israel.

  • Zionism is de facto the state ideology. Its central objective is to make Israel Jewish in demography, language, culture, institutions, identity and symbols, and to protect Jewish lives and interests all over the world. It accepts the historical development of Jews as an ethnic nation, in which ethnicity, religion and peoplehood are intertwined. A member of the Jewish people cannot be a member of a non-Judaic religion.
