Mortality salience effects fail to replicate in traditional and novel measures
Mortality salience (MS) effects, where death reminders lead to ingroup-bias and defensive protection of one’s world-view, have been claimed to be a fundamental human motivator. MS phenomena have ostensibly been identified in several hundred studies within the “terror management theory” framework, but transparent and high-powered replications are lacking. Experiment 1 (N = 101 Norwegian lab participants) aimed to replicate the traditional MSeffect on national patriotism, with additional novel measures of democratic values and pro-sociality. Experiment2 (N = 784 US online participants) aimed to replicate the MS effect on national patriotism in a larger sample, with ingroup identification and pro-sociality as additional outcome measures. The results showed that neither experiment replicated the traditional MS effect on national patriotism. The experiments also failed to support conceptual replications and underlying mechanisms on democratic values, processing speed, psychophysiological responses, ingroup identification, and pro-sociality. This indicates that the effect of death reminders is less robust and generalizable than previously assumed.

Constitutional patriotism
Constitutional Patriotism offers a new theory of citizenship and civic allegiance for today's culturally diverse liberal democracies. Rejecting conventional accounts of liberal nationalism and cosmopolitanism, Jan-Werner Mller argues for a form of political belonging centered on universalist norms, adapted for specific constitutional cultures. At the same time, he presents a novel approach to thinking about political belonging and the preconditions of democratic legitimacy beyond the nation-state. The book takes the development of the European Union as a case study, but its lessons apply also to the United States and other parts of the world. Mller's essay starts with an engaging historical account of the origins and spread of the concept of constitutional patriotism-the idea that political attachment ought to center on the norms and values of a liberal democratic constitution rather than a national culture or the \"global human community.\" In a more analytical part, he then proposes a critical conception of citizenship that makes room for dissent and civil disobedience while taking seriously a polity's need for stability over time. Mller's theory of constitutional patriotism responds to the challenges of the de facto multiculturalism of today's states--with a number of concrete policy implications about immigration and the preconditions for citizenship clearly spelled out. And it asks what civic empowerment could mean in a globalizing world.

The Patriotism of Despair
The sudden dissolution of the Soviet Union altered the routines, norms, celebrations, and shared understandings that had shaped the lives of Russians for generations. It also meant an end to the state-sponsored, nonmonetary support that most residents had lived with all their lives. How did Russians make sense of these historic transformations? Serguei Alex. Oushakine offers a compelling look at postsocialist life in Russia.
In Barnaul, a major industrial city in southwestern Siberia that has lost 25 percent of its population since 1991, many Russians are finding that what binds them together is loss and despair.The Patriotism of Despairexamines the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union, graphically described in spray paint by a graffiti artist in Barnaul: \"We have no Motherland.\" Once socialism disappeared as a way of understanding the world, what replaced it in people's minds? Once socialism stopped orienting politics and economics, how did capitalism insinuate itself into routine practices?
Oushakine offers a compelling look at postsocialist life in noncosmopolitan Russia. He introduces readers to the \"neocoms\": people who mourn the loss of the Soviet economy and the remonetization of transactions that had not involved the exchange of cash during the Soviet era. Moving from economics into military conflict and personal loss, Oushakine also describes the ways in which veterans of the Chechen war and mothers of soldiers who died there have connected their immediate experiences with the country's historical disruptions. The country, the nation, and traumatized individuals, Oushakine finds, are united by their vocabulary of shared pain.

FINANCIAL PATRIOTISM: THEORETICAL SUBSTANTIATION AND ROLE IN ENSURING THE FINANCIAL SECURITY OF THE STATE
Increasing the level of financial patriotism among economic agents is a priority determinant of the financial security of the state. The level of financial patriotism is determined by the alignment of the interests of the state and other participants in financial relations, influencing the financial decision-making of economic agents.The purpose of this study is to deepen the understanding of the concept of financial patriotism, to reveal the forms of its manifestation, and to determine its impact on the financial security of the state.The article substantiates the concept of financial patriotism as a type of financial behaviour in which participants in financial relations not only express their love for their country but also apply this principle in their daily financial decisions, aligning personal economic interests with societal interests. The following types of financial patriotism have been identified: financial patriotism of public authorities, financial patriotism of the business sector, and financial patriotism of households.The financial patriotism of public authorities is manifested in the implementation of a consistent fiscal policy that seeks the highest possible harmonization of the interests of the state and taxpayers and fosters partnerships between them; in professional management decisions aimed at the efficient use of public financial resources; and in the implementation of an effective debt policy.Forms of financial patriotism in the business sector include the proper fulfilment of fiscal obligations by business entities, participation in charitable projects that serve the public interest, engagement in corporate social responsibility programs, charitable support, and the purchase of government debt securities to support national defence needs.Forms of financial patriotism among the population include participation in state debt financing through the purchase of military government bonds, the proper fulfillment of tax obligations, rejecting unofficial employment without fiscal contributions, and a conscious approach to participating in social transfer programs.
