Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A view from abroad to the internationalization of the Catalan crisis. Exiled President of Catalonia Carles Puigdemont was arrested in Germany in March 2018 on his way back from Finland. That marked a turning point in the internationalization of the Catalan crisis. German court refused his extradition to Spain arguing he had not committed rebellion. Meanwhile part of the legitimate Government of Catalonia as well as civil society leaders have been in an unjust pre-trial detention for over 1,5 years. Trial against Catalan political prisoners is coming to an end in the summer of 2019. Sentences are expected to be harsh further escalating the political conflict between Spain and Catalonia. Janne Riitakorpi, co-organizer of President Puigdemont’s visit to Finland, analyses in his book the recent years of the Catalan independence movement from an international perspective. Book contains background to Europe's strongest secessionist movement, detailed analysis of international reactions witnessed during the tense autumn of 2017 as well as author’s personal experiences from the heart of the Catalan struggle. Riitakorpi lived in Barcelona in 2017 and worked for the Public Diplomacy Council of Catalonia during the 1 October referendum and 27 October declaration of independence. He is also Secretary of the Foreign Friends of Catalonia as well as the Executive Director of the Finland-Catalonia Friendship Association.

Download or read book Double Talk written by Kathryn A. Woolard and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant movement for Catalan independence has been building since 2010 and in 2015 is bringing Catalonia to a political showdown with the Spanish state. The Catalan language has long been cast as a key sign of identity and a rallying point for Catalan nationalism. This classic anthropological study, originally published in 1989 and now available for the first time in paperback, provides essential background for understanding Catalan national identity and its relationship to the distinctive Catalan language. Author Kathryn A. Woolard analyzes language and identity politics at a significant turning point in the modern history of Catalonia: 1979-80, when political autonomy was re-established after the end of the Franco dictatorship. This book examines the formal language politics of parties and policymaking as well as the interpersonal politics of individuals negotiating their social identities through choices between the Catalan and Spanish languages. This dual approach uncovers the relationship between the public and personal meanings of the languages that continue to resonate with Catalan national aspirations in the current political movement. Double Talk confronts enduring questions about bilingual life that arise not only in Spain, but also in settings worldwide.
Book Synopsis Freedom for Catalonia? by : John Hargreaves
Download or read book Freedom for Catalonia? written by John Hargreaves and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-03-23 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the fight for independence by national minorities has received much attention recently, there is no study of how globalised sport in its most advanced form can help to stimulate it. This book shows how the 1992 Olympic Games raised the tension that already existed between Catalonia and Spain, from the time they were awarded to Barcelona until they opened. John Hargreaves analyses and explains the way in which the conflict developed and eventually was resolved, in terms of the special characteristics of Catalan nationalism, the nature of the new Spanish democracy and the special role played by the International Olympic Committee. This book will be relevant to academics, researchers and postgraduates specialising in nationalism and Catalan nationalism, as well as being of interest to teachers, researchers and students of political sociology, cultural studies and sports studies, and professionals working in the fields of culture, sport, recreation and leisure.

Book Synopsis Exhuming Franco by : Sebastiaan Faber
Download or read book Exhuming Franco written by Sebastiaan Faber and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through dozens of interviews, intensive reporting, and deep research and analysis, Sebastiaan Faber sets out to understand what remains of Francisco Franco's legacy in Spain today. Faber's work is grounded in heavy scholarship, but the book is an engaging, accessible introduction to a national conversation about fascism. Spurred by the disinterment of the dictator in 2019, Faber finds that Spain is still deeply affected—and divided—by the dictatorial legacies of Francoism. This new edition, with additional interviews and a new introduction, illuminates the dangers of the rise of right-wing nationalist revisionism by using Spain as a case study for how nations face, or don't face, difficult questions about their past.

Book Synopsis Identity Discourses about Spain and Catalonia in News Media by : Clara Juarez Miro
Download or read book Identity Discourses about Spain and Catalonia in News Media written by Clara Juarez Miro and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: News media are principal actors in the development of national identities: they have the ability to construct them, maintain them, or divide them. Identity Discourses about Spain and Catalonia in News Media explores the historical and contemporary role of journalism in the relationship between Catalonia and Spain. With more than seven million inhabitants, Catalonia is a region of Spain with historical economic strength and a unique culture. For centuries, but recently at an escalating pace, a large part of the Catalan population has expressed the desire to secede from Spain, constituting a prototypical case study for secessionism among developed countries. This book explains how news media have constructed Catalan and Spanish identities as different from one other, suggesting that journalism can play a crucial role in secessionist politics.
Book Synopsis Riding the Populist Wave by : Tim Bale
Download or read book Riding the Populist Wave written by Tim Bale and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of the fact that Conservative, Christian democratic and Liberal parties continue to play a crucial role in the democratic politics and governance of every Western European country, they are rarely paid the attention they deserve. This cutting-edge comparative collection, combining qualitative case studies with large-N quantitative analysis, reveals a mainstream right squeezed by the need to adapt to both 'the silent revolution' that has seen the spread of postmaterialist, liberal and cosmopolitan values and the backlash against those values – the 'silent counter-revolution' that has brought with it the rise of a myriad far right parties offering populist and nativist answers to many of the continent's thorniest political problems. What explains why some mainstream right parties seem to be coping with that challenge better than others? And does the temptation to ride the populist wave rather than resist it ultimately pose a danger to liberal democracy?
Book Synopsis Catalonia in Spain and Europe by : Klaus-Jürgen Nagel
Download or read book Catalonia in Spain and Europe written by Klaus-Jürgen Nagel and published by Nomos Verlag. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unabhängigkeitsbewegungen haben in der letzten Zeit auch in Westeuropa die Stabilität mancher Staaten in Frage gestellt. In Schottland entschied sich eine knappe Mehrheit schliesslich dafür, im Vereinigten Königreich zu verbleiben. Die katalanische Forderung nach einem ähnlichen Referendum wurde dagegen vom spanischen Staat konsequent zurückgewiesen. Unser Buch beantwortet folgende Fragen: Wann, wie und warum hat sich die lange nichtseparatistische katalanische Nationalbewegung der Unabhängigkeit zugewandt? Geht es um Sprache, Identität, um Geld, oder um Demokratie? Welche Rolle spielen dabei die Immigranten? Welche alternative Lösungen sind denkbar? Wie reagiert Europa, wie Deutschland? Gibt es einen Weg zur Unabhängigkeit? Und schliesslich: Wäre ein unabhängiges Katalonien lebensfähig? Die Herausgeber dieses Bandes Stephan Rixen (Rechtswissenschaft, Universität Bayreuth) und Klaus-Jürgen Nagel (Politikwissenschaft, Universitat Pompeu Fabra) vertreten zwei der Fachrichtungen, die sich solchen Fragen widmen. Doch auch weitere Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften sind in diesem Band vertreten. In englischer Sprache.

Book Synopsis Catalonia: A New Independent State in Europe? by : Xavier Cuadras Morató
Download or read book Catalonia: A New Independent State in Europe? written by Xavier Cuadras Morató and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalonia: A New Independent State in Europe examines the main issues of the political process which is taking place in Catalonia today. The political confrontation between the Spanish and Catalan institutions has now reached the international arena, especially the debates concerning international recognition of a new Catalan state and its membership of the European Union (EU) and other international institutions. There are no precedents for the secession of a region from an EU member country that could be applied to the case of Catalonia. Therefore, it is not surprising that the world has many unanswered question about the process. This volume aims to provide answers to many of these questions in a systematic and rigorous way. Why has the political scenario in Catalonia changed so radically and so rapidly? Is this new situation only temporary and support for independence is likely to vanish very soon? What role has the deep economic crisis in Catalonia and in Spain played in the process? Is a potential new Catalan state economically viable? Which are the main legal controversies about self-determination and independence between the Spanish and Catalan institutions? Would an independent Catalonia be a member of the EU? This book will be of great use to academics and students in the field of politics and international relations, particularly those interested in European economic and political studies. It will also interest a wide segment of general readers interested in contemporary political issues.
Book Synopsis Canadian Critical Luxury Studies by : Jessica Clark
Download or read book Canadian Critical Luxury Studies written by Jessica Clark and published by . This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dynamic new contribution to the study of luxury in the Canadian context. From the history of the fur trade to the latest Indigenous fashion movement, from the T. Eaton Company's 1920s "Made-in-Canada" campaign to the on-again-off-again Toronto Fashion Week, from Vancouver public art commissions to Montréal's future-forward fashion tech sector, the essays in this volume explain what makes and breaks Canadian luxury. The book announces a new collective of thinkers who focus on Indigenous and Canadian instances of luxurious production, experiences, and sites to propose a new definition of luxury that includes a plurality of regional practices. Challenging Western perceptions that bind luxury to a colonial past or a consumerist present, these original case studies redefine luxury for Canada, highlighting the notion that Canadian luxury is centered on community and connection.
