Book Synopsis Catalonia, Scotland and the EU: by : Niklas Bremberg
Download or read book Catalonia, Scotland and the EU: written by Niklas Bremberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-10 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The electoral success of secessionist parties in Catalonia and Scotland over the last decade, together with Brexit and the support for Eurosceptic parties in many EU member states, have prompted a rethink of many taken-for-granted notions about politics in Spain, the UK and the EU. Secessionist parties in Catalonia and Scotland often combine calls for independence with support for the EU, but independence for Catalonia might entail the loss of EU membership. In the UK, Scotland voted for the UK to remain in the EU, yet it was forced to leave the Union along with the rest of the country: what effect has Brexit had on Scottish independence claims? Through comparing Catalonia and Scotland, this short volume aims to contribute to debates on, and advance knowledge of, visions of independence and integration, how they interrelate in Europe’s emergent political order, and what they entail for European integration and democracy in the EU.
Book Synopsis Secessionism and the European Union by : Glen M.E. Duerr
Download or read book Secessionism and the European Union written by Glen M.E. Duerr and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secessionist (also called, nationalist, or pro-independence) political parties exist in many countries in the developed world; they raise—and then spend—a lot of money, win votes in elections, and their elected officials serve in seats in local, regional, and national parliaments. Yet, despite all of this effort, there has not been a successful case of secession since 1921 when the Irish Free State effectively seceded from the United Kingdom (UK). Perhaps the biggest issue is that these secessionist political parties have rarely been popular enough to form a government even amongst their core ethnic group. This is further compounded by the fact that secessionist parties have historically been unable to win support from immigrants or people outside their core ethnic and/or linguistic group. Given this context, four central questions are posed in this study including: whether—and also why—any of the secessionist parties have transitioned from ethnic-based to civic-based policy platforms? Why have these secessionist parties not yet achieved independence? And, what role does the European Union (EU) play in facilitating or deterring secession in independence-seeking regions within member states? This study examines three different cases—Flanders in Belgium, Scotland in the UK, and Catalonia in Spain—to investigate how secessionist political parties are approaching the issue of independence. All of the cases are different with respect to history, governmental structure, and economic situation. Yet all of the cases are similar in some ways—they are close to the same size (in terms of population), operate within mature democratic political systems, have distinct secessionist political parties, and all reside within member states of the EU. Categorically, in all cases, there are also shared influences of the ability of the region to secede: institutions, interests, and ideas.
Book Synopsis Scots and Catalans by : J. H. Elliott
Download or read book Scots and Catalans written by J. H. Elliott and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-02 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark account that reveals the long history behind the current Catalan and Scottish independence movements A distinguished historian of Spain and Europe provides an enlightening account of the development of nationalist and separatist movements in contemporary Catalonia and Scotland. This first sustained comparative study uncovers the similarities and the contrasts between the Scottish and Catalan experiences across a five-hundred-year period, beginning with the royal marriages that brought about union with their more powerful neighbors, England and Castile respectively, and following the story through the centuries from the end of the Middle Ages until today’s dramatic events. J. H. Elliott examines the political, economic, social, cultural, and emotional factors that divide Scots and Catalans from the larger nations to which their fortunes were joined. He offers new insights into the highly topical subject of the character and development of European nationalism, the nature of separatism, and the sense of grievance underlying the secessionist aspirations that led to the Scottish referendum of 2014, the illegal Catalan referendum of October 2017, and the resulting proclamation of an independent Catalan republic.
Book Synopsis Qualified Autonomy and Federalism versus Secession in EU Member States by : Annegret Eppler
Download or read book Qualified Autonomy and Federalism versus Secession in EU Member States written by Annegret Eppler and published by StudienVerlag. This book was released on 2021-12-08 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with current secessionist movements in states that are or were members of the European Union (EU). It compares the cases of Scotland, Catalonia, and Flanders, which are anchored in three different political systems. However, all three sub-state regions analysed are or were part of the EU multi-level system, and as such, they are subject to the influence of Europeanization. Their secession efforts are influenced by the European framework – including their own EU membership after a possible secession. The three regions, therefore, have different motivations and probabilities for actual secessions. All case studies in this volume are introduced and outlined with theoretical chapters and examined using consistent guiding questions to ensure comparability between the three cases. The analyses are framed by chapters describing other examples of secession processes past and present, and by texts that ask whether federalism or other solutions (so-called 'third ways') could offer a path beyond secession.
Book Synopsis Territorial politics in Catalonia and Scotland by : Paul Anderson
Download or read book Territorial politics in Catalonia and Scotland written by Paul Anderson and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nations in flux explores the evolution of territorial politics in Catalonia and Scotland since 2010, offering an in-depth, comparative analysis of developments in both cases and drawing on interviews with political elites whilst providing a compelling snapshot of the growing relevance of nationalism in contemporary society and politics. Empirically, this book analyses the experiences and effects of referendums on independence, Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic, and examines some of the most pressing tensions within the existing territorial models. It highlights the need for further reform in both cases and identifies necessary changes to ensure the institutionalisation of more accommodative territorial models and thus, the continuation of political partnership between Catalonia and Spain, and Scotland and the UK. Overall, the book raises important questions about the accommodation of diversity in plurinational states in the twenty-first century.
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 249 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 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 Postindependence in Scotland, Catalonia and the Basque Country by : Igor Calzada
Download or read book Postindependence in Scotland, Catalonia and the Basque Country written by Igor Calzada and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UK and Spain are not depicted as having the same nation-state DNA with regard to their respective histories and political-cultural traditions. A glance at the current European regional comparative context reveals that, while the UK Government has legitimised the Scottish Government and supported the Scottish Independence referendum as being a highly democratic exercise, Spain stands out as remaining normatively inflexible without, so far, even contemplating any dialogue with the presidents of the Catalan and Basque Autonomies.

Book excerpt: This paper addresses some questions that deserve comments given that they appear in the press on a daily basis. Why and how are Scotland and Catalonia demanding their own individual statehoods? What are the British and Spanish Governments' responses to the demand for a referendum on independence? What is the role of the Constitutional framework in these answers? And that of political will? Are the unionist campaigns the best method of recruitment for pro-independence camps? Do the pro-independence projects paint a too rosy picture? What are the implications in international law, particularly referring to European Union membership?

This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to jointly scrutinise two existential issues for the EU: withdrawal of a member state (i.e. Brexit) and territorial secession (affecting Scotland, Catalonia and beyond). The book applies normative and empirical analyses, explores new approaches and discusses the deep theoretical problems unleashed by these processes. Featuring a superb constellation of legal and political science scholars, the book combines specific legal analysis and considers the political dynamics behind the processes. It provides extensive coverage and sophisticated analysis of the interpretation of Article 50 and the possible consequences it may have. The implications of withdrawal and secession on EU citizenship are discussed in depth and there is an overview of the evolving nature of the relationship between the regions and the EU. Finally, there is an engaging normative discussion on the deeper meaning of these two processes with respect to the objective of European integration.

Book Synopsis Secession Within NATO Countries. Scotland and Catalonia by : Joseph Leavitt
Download or read book Secession Within NATO Countries. Scotland and Catalonia written by Joseph Leavitt and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Miscellaneous, language: English, abstract: This essay analyzes the security implications of a "yes" vote on these regional independence movements in Spain and the UK. Even if the "no" votes outnumber the "yes" votes, the security issues will remain relevant if the underlying reasons for the divorce remain, making the British author William Hickson's words, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again" ironically relevant. Would a "yes" vote on Scottish independence be "cataclysmic in geopolitical terms for the world," as former NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson has argued, or would independence be no more than a "'storm in a teacup'-an internal issue for the United Kingdom with few consequences for the international community?" This essay argues that secessionist movements in Catalonia and Scotland are likely to result in short-term reductions in security for the secessionist states and their former governments.

Book Synopsis The Nationalism of the Rich by : Emmanuel Dalle Mulle
Download or read book The Nationalism of the Rich written by Emmanuel Dalle Mulle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on rigorous analysis of the propaganda of five Western European separatist parties, this book provides in-depth examination of the ‘nationalism of the rich’, defined as a type of nationalist discourse that seeks to end the economic ‘exploitation’ suffered by a group of people represented as a wealthy nation and supposedly carried out by the populations of poorer regions and/or by inefficient state administrations. It shows that the nationalism of the rich represents a new phenomenon peculiar to societies that have set in place complex systems of wealth redistribution and adopted economic growth as the main principle of government legitimacy. The book argues that the nationalism of the rich can be seen as a rhetorical strategy portraying independent statehood as a solution to the dilemma between solidarity and efficiency arisen in Western Europe since the end of the Glorious Thirties. It further suggests that its formation can be best explained by the following combination of factors: (1) the creation, from the end of the Second World War, of extensive forms of automatic redistribution to a scale previously unprecedented; (2) the beginning, from the mid-1970s, of an era of ‘permanent austerity’ exacerbated, in specific contexts, by situations of serious public policy failure; (3) the existence of national/cultural cleavages roughly squaring with uneven development and sharp income differentials among territorial areas of a given state.
