This book looks at the fundamental components of national identity
as understood by ordinary nation members, and the way in which it
is mobilised by political elites. Drawing on an original case
comparison between Wales and the Basque Country, the author
suggests there are many commonalities between these two nations,
particularly around the fundamentals of their national identities.
However, differences occur in terms of degree of intensity of
feeling and around the politicisation of identity, with more
entrenched and hostile political positioning in the Basque Country
than Wales. Through a multi-level comparison, the book generates
insights into national identity as a theoretical concept and in a
'stateless nation' context. It argues for national identity's
intangible, yet polemical, nature, looking at the primordialist way
it is understood, its permanence and importance, coupled with its
lack of everyday salience and consequent obligations.
