Across Western Europe, the global financial crisis of 2008 and its
aftermath not only brought economic havoc but also, in turn,
intense political upheaval. Many of the political manifestations of
the crisis seen in other Western and especially Southern European
countries also hit Spain, where challenger parties caused
unprecedented parliamentary fragmentation, resulting in four
general elections in under four years from 2015 onwards. Yet Spain,
a decentralised state where extensive powers are devolved to 17
regions known as 'autonomous communities', also stood out from its
neighbours due to the importance of the territorial dimension of
politics in shaping the political expression of the crisis. This
book explains how and why the territorial dimension of politics
contributed to shaping party system continuity and change in Spain
in the aftermath of the financial crisis, with a particular focus
on party behaviour. The territorial dimension encompasses the
demands for ever greater autonomy or even sovereignty coming from
certain parties within the historic regions of the Basque Country,
Catalonia and, to a lesser extent, Galicia. It also encompasses
where these historic regions sit within the broader dynamics of
intergovernmental relations across Spain's 17 autonomous
communities in total, and how these dynamics contribute to shaping
party strategies and behaviour in Spain. Such features became
particularly salient in the aftermath of the financial crisis since
this coincided with, and indeed accelerated, the rise of the
independence movement in Catalonia.
