As recently as the mid-2000s, Catalonia was described and analysed
by scholars as exhibiting a non-secessionist nationalism and was
seen within Europe and beyond as a role model for successful
devolution which had much to teach other parts of the world. The
Spanish state seemed to be on a journey towards an authentic
federal order and was generally admired. However, the new century
has been marked by an ever-growing independence movement, with 47.8
per cent of Catalonia voting in favour of independence in September
2015. Pro-independence mobilization has produced a rupture in
political relations with the rest of Spain leading to a sovereignty
struggle with Madrid. This book explores how an accumulation of
long-, medium- and short-term factors have produced the current
situation and why the Spanish territorial model has been unable or
possibly, unwilling, to respond. The Catalan question is not purely
a Spanish problem: it has direct implications for the traditional
nation-state model, in Europe and beyond.
