Nations without states - where there is a strong sense of national
identity, but no state - are common. They have a new importance
today, when established nation-states are changing their nature in
response to globalization. This book provides a comprehensive
analysis of Western substate nationalism by drawing on a wide range
of case studies which include Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, the
Basque Country, Northern Ireland, Quebec and Indian nations in
North America.
Drawing on a comparative framework, in which both the nature of
nationalist movements and the state containing them are studied,
the book offers a typology of the different political scenarios in
which substate nationalism emerges and develops, ranging from
cultural recognition to federation.
Guibernau offers a comparative analysis of nationalist movements in
nations without states and considers cultural resistance and
political terrorism as strategies currently employed by some of
these nations to attain their goals. The future shape of the
nation-state and the conditions for the success of alternative
structures, such as those prompted by substate nationalist
movements, lie at the core of the book.
"Nations without States" will be essential reading for students and
professionals in sociology, politics and international
relations.
