Contesting Spain? The Dynamics of Nationalist Movements in
Catalonia and the Basque Country offers an exploration of the
dynamics behind contemporary shifts in the orientation of
nationalist parties and movements with reference to Catalonia and
the Basque country in Spain. The chapters were originally papers
presented at a workshop held at the Barcelona Centre for
International Affairs (CIDOB) in September 2014 as part of a
research project on 'The Dynamics of Nationalist Evolution in
Contemporary Spain', whose purpose was to gain a better
understanding of why regionally-based nationalist movements have
experienced shifting relationships with the Spanish state over
time, in some periods appearing content with accommodation between
central and regional government and at other times pushing to go
beyond autonomist demands to seek sovereignty or even attain full
independence. The volume is one of the first to focus comparatively
on the rise of pro-sovereignty politics in mainstream nationalist
parties, whose evolution has also featured more traditional
impulses towards territorial accommodation within the wider state.
Using the exceptionally rich laboratory provided by Spain, the book
explores the dynamics behind shifts in the orientation of
nationalist parties and movements once they have established
themselves as electorally successful at regional level. Dimensions
to the analysis include: the interaction of nationalist parties
with central government; pressures from their support bases;
competition between parties within the home region; and
international influences. This title is innovative in bringing
together experts with a range of disciplinary approaches: primarily
political scientists but also historians and scholars located at
the cusp between social sciences and humanities.
