== Aim == In the journal's inaugural issue, the editors described ''National Identities'' as a "forum" for discussion of "competing sources of identity, whether regional, tribal, religious or political.." and stated that "the prime unit of analysis" would be identity, "how it is expressed and mediated, and how it relates to the state and the problematic construction of the nation."<ref>{{Cite journal| title = Editorial | journal = National Identities | volume = 1 | issue = 1 | pages = 5–6 | doi = 10.1080/14608944.1999.9728098 | date = March 1999 | bibcode = 1999NatId...1....5. }}</ref> According to David Kaplan, one of the journal's four editors and the journal's anchor editor, the goal of the journal is to "fill in some of those holes that were there between those different types of journals dealing with ethnicity on one hand and nations and nationalism on the other."<ref name="faculty.strose">Steve Black, "[http://faculty.strose.edu/blacks/NationalIdentities.htm ''National Identities'' - Interview with David Kaplan]", Editor, March 2008, Periodical Radio.</ref>
