Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Alberta (Canada), 2007.

This project begins with two central questions: what role do state actors and institutions play in defining the values of the nation and how can we determine what these values are? Building on the existing literature on nationalism and citizenship, the concept state culture is presented as an alternative mechanism for interrogating the role of states in the construction of national identity. State culture is, quite simply, the values put forward by states, through different state actors and institutions, represented in their policies, practices and literature, which reflect the key values seen as defining the nation. The concept of state culture is tested here in two case studies--Canada and Sweden--through an exploration of historical nation-building, policies, and government literature for new immigrants. The focus, however, is on the politics of immigration as it is through immigration policies, practices and the literature for new immigrants that the boundaries of the nation are most clearly demarcated. This analysis of the case studies reveals an increasing tension between the values of the multicultural welfare state and individual self-reliance in both countries. While both Canada and Sweden are shown to share similar values, the dissertation argues that the two state cultures differ in the emphasis placed in certain values, in particular, those relating to liberty, equality and community. This work concludes that the concept of state culture and the methodology provided for the operationalization of it are effective tools for uncovering and understanding the specific values put forward by state actors and institutions in the construction of national identity.
