Is liberalism really compatible with nationalism? Are there limits
to linguistic nation-building policies? What arguments justify the
imposition of national languages? This book addresses these
questions by examining the linguistic disputes in Catalonia and
Flanders, two major cases of sub-state nationalism. The book
connects two strands of arguments: the political arguments around
contested linguistic policies, drawing on a rich set of primary and
secondary sources, and the theoretical arguments around liberalism
and nationalism. The study also compares the historical trajectory
and political dynamics of Catalan and Flemish nationalism. It shows
that the relationship between language and nationhood is
politically constructed through state nation-building and minority
activism. The findings highlight the relevance and pervasiveness of
nationalism in contemporary social and political life. This book
will appeal to scholars and upper-level students interested in
nationalism, contemporary political theory, the politics of
language, and comparative territorial politics.
