Abstract

ABSTRACT With the aim to win support for its political project, Basque nationalism has traditionally sought to get an increasingly larger number of people to share a national identity. However, in the twenty first century, we can appreciate another discourse, which goes beyond national sentiment, and includes aspects that are more related to social and personal wellbeing. This second discourse has given rise to a new attitude to the independence of the Basque Country, which can now be shared by people who are not necessarily Basque nationalists, but are, on the other hand, interested in a project for a state as it could afford them personal benefits. This study explores how both discourses are spread and whether there has been a perceptible change in the attitude to independence in non-Basque nationalist sectors.

当前支持巴斯克国家独立的言论和态度

巴斯克民族主义传统上寻求让越来越多的人分享民族认同，目的是赢得对其政治项目的支持。然而，在21世纪，我们可以欣赏到另一种话语，它超越了民族情绪，包括与社会和个人福祉更相关的方面。这第二种话语引发了对巴斯克地区独立的新态度，现在可以由不一定是巴斯克民族主义者的人分享，但另一方面，对一个国家的项目感兴趣，因为它可以为他们提供个人利益。本研究探讨了这两种话语是如何传播的，以及非巴斯克民族主义部门对独立的态度是否发生了可察觉的变化。

期刊介绍： The upsurge of academic and political interest in regional and federal questions since the 1980s has been stimulated by the salience of regions in EU policy-making and the Structural Funds but also by regionalization and federalization processes in many Western states. The most striking example is the devolution occurring in the UK, but the process is at work all over Europe and in other parts of the world. These developments have led to many important research programmes and projects. Regional and Federal Studies is a refereed social science journal which provides an academic forum for the publication of international research on these issues. It is essential reading for both academics and practitioners in politics, administration and the business world.
