This book explores the conflict between the Catalan project to
become independent and the Spanish state's opposition to any
attempt of secessionism. The volume addresses some of the key
political and academic issues of contemporary European societies:
nationalism, separatism and sovereignty. The banned referendum in
Catalonia in October 2017 unveiled the existence of multiple
crises, from territorial to economic and political. Indeed, the
Catalan issue is about the crisis of sovereignty: who holds
legitimacy to make decisions, and who is in power legally and
politically? The book is structured according to three themes:
sovereignty and its people, where the realignment to independence,
populism and the definition of the demos are discussed; collective
identities and actions, to account for the shaping of 'us', the
importance of collective memory and the cross-alliances forged
during the referendum; and internationalization, focusing on
Europeanisation, international media and comparative constitutional
perspectives.
