Changing Nationalist Styles in Galicia
In the Spanish region of Galicia, immediately north of Portugal, the Bloque Nacionalista Galego (BNG) has achieved unprecedented electoral success, emerging as a prominent nationalist force within the Spanish political landscape. This study analyzes the discursive and performative repertoires employed by Galician nationalism and explores how the prevalent dual national identity in the region shapes these strategies. Reversing Brubaker’s theoretic…
Raza y mito céltico en los orígenes del nacionalismo gallego. Manuel M. Murguía
Se estudia el papel del racismo en el pensamiento de M. Murguía. Su chovinismo étnico tiene todas las características del racismo : tipos raciales fijos y superioridad de una raza. Sus posturas racistas son los siguientes : la nación es definida como un símbolo más que como una comunidad genética ; el mito del origen celta ; la identificación de un enemigo externo, las razas semitas ; la amenaza externa es más importante que los problemas interno…
Deliberación e inclusión en la democracia republicana
Este artículo postula una reinterpretación normativa de la democracia republicana ante los retos que afrontan las sociedades contemporáneas en razón de su creciente diversidad y pluralismo cultural. A tal efecto procede añadiendo a la clásica perspectiva centrada en le relación entre gobernantes y gobernados (indirecta en la democracia representativa, directa en le democracia participativa) un eje adicional: la producción política de las preferen…
El régimen emocional del procés tras las elecciones catalanas de 2021
The objective of this article is to analyze the emotional regime of the procés in Catalonia, while Catalans’ different emotional architectures are also examined based on their position on the procés, their voting orientation and their temporary period of ascription to the independence movement. A quantitatively oriented methodological approach has been used to develop this research. As a result, a descriptive analysis is carried out that observes…
Ilusiones perdidas en la Europa de entreguerras
La obra de Robert Musil Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften no sólo se considera una de las cumbres de la novela del siglo XX, sino que constituye también un ensayo de profundo calado teórico político sobre la nación y los nacionalismos en la Europa de entreguerras. La crisis del Imperio austrohúngaro sirve de motivo al autor para desarrollar una crítica profunda de algunos de los fundamentos teóricos fundamentales del pensamiento político moderno. Este …
Autonomía de la política y republicanismo en Karl Marx
En este artículo se sostiene que en los llamados escritos políticos de Marx se elabora, al hilo de los análisis de coyuntura de la Francia del siglo xix, una consideración de la política dotada de un estatuto autónomo y sustantivo, del que en modo alguno puede darse cuenta con las manidas descalificaciones de economicismo o reduccionismo (superestructura), ni tampoco de autoritarismo antidemocrático (dictadura del proletariado). Este novedoso aná…
Otto Bauer
This article presents a detailed analysis of the concept of nation in the work of Austro-Marxist Otto Bauer. In his view, the nation is conceived as an evolutionary process of political, open and plural construction. His work also unravels the connections of nation with a plurinational democratic state, which was at the time a novel political and institutional vision. The article argues that his work is very relevant today, with rising complexity…
Encyclopedia of Romantic Nationalism in Europe
This encyclopedia documents the presence and impact of nationalized cultural consciousness in European nationalism. It tracks how intellectuals, historians, philologists, novelists, poets, painters, folklorists, and composers, in an intensely collaborative transnational network, articulated the national identities and aspirations that would go on to determine European history and politics, with effects that are still felt today. Edited by Joep Le…
Catalonia
Is there a political space for a possible federal accommodation of the demands of self-government in Catalonia and how is it configured? In order to answer these questions, we address first the conceptualization of federalism, and then, from an evolutionary perspective, we focus on the “Catalan issue” and its institutional outputs. The general assumption, in political and media discourse, namely, that “being in favour of the independence process”…
The Shifting Framing Strategies and Policy Positions of the Bloque Nacionalista Galego
This article asks why, in contrast to other historic territories with a regional language, such as Catalonia and the Basque Country, nationalist parties in the Autonomous Community of Galicia receive less electoral support. Going beyond prior explanations of this counterintuitive political outcome, which were mainly based on economic, sociological, and institutional factors, this piece of research sheds light on the strategies of political partie…
Indianismo e etnonacionalismo na Bolívia
Esse artigo tenta identificar os fatores do sucesso do movimento indígena na Bolívia e explicar o porquê da ascendência do Movimento ao Socialismo (MAS) de Evo Morales e não do Movimiento Indígena Pachakuti (MIP). Explora ainda aspectos do discurso indígena que normalmente não têm sido observados, mas que lançam uma nova luz sobre ideias anteriores
Waning Sovereignty? The Kindred Myths of “Origins” and “Vanishing” of the State
This article discusses, from an historical-neo-institutionalist and relational-strate- gic perspective, the postmodern thesis of the end of the state due to the increasing processes of world globalization. The main hypothesis is that the arguments which predict the structural crisis or the disappearance of the State in the age of neo-liberal globalization have their roots in a theoretically and historically implausible concept of sovereignty that…
El Dios mortal. ¿Implica la globalización una progresiva desaparición de los Estados
El artículo discute la tesis postmoderna de que la globalización implica el\n\t\t\t\t progresivo desmantelamiento del Estado. Desde una perspectiva estratégicorelacional\n\t\t\t\t y neo-institucionalista histórica se trata de mostrar, analizando las\n\t\t\t\t principales continuidades y descontinuidades entre el Estado regulador clásico\n\t\t\t\t y el nuevo Estado eficiente y competitivo del neoliberalismo, que los Estados\n\t\t\t\t siguen desemp…
Teoría evolutiva de la nación y federalismo plurinacional en la obra de Otto Bauer
This article systematically analyzes Otto Bauer’s concept of nation as a non-essential community and as an evolutionary process of political construction, that is open and contingent as\nwell as plural and contested. This innovative concept enabled him to overcome the nineteenth-century monist equation, underlying both the postulates of the national state (one\nState = one Nation) and its secular antagonist, the Principle of Nationalities (one Na…
De la economía a la ética, ¿qué fue de la política? Para una teoría estructural de la igualdad
This paper develops a systematic critique of the individualistic shift in the contemporary political theory of equality. Uncritically indebted to a model of homo oeconomicus centred on the “merit” and “responsibility” of each citizen, this individualised model is inadequate in accounting for contemporary inequalities based on class, gender and ethnicity. The paper argues in favour of re-setting egalitarian theory from a structural and political r…

The Political Mind and Its Other
There is a hidden tension underlying current debates on issues such as liberalism, communitarianism, multiculturalism or nationalism in the field of political theory.1. This hidden tension is at least as problematic as the tensions expressed by other, more explicit binary codes, such as community/individual, monism/ pluralism or universalism/particularism. In this chapter, I will argue that the Reason/Emotion dichotomy, a foundational dichotomy o…

The Hidden Counterpoint of Spanish Federalism
The recent evolution of the Spanish ‘State of Autonomies’ has given rise to numerous political and academic criticisms, which argue that the initial federal logic of the system is giving way to a confederal logic that threatens the cohesion of the state. This article contradicts the negative diagnosis, outlining the main mechanisms that retain and in fact reinforce the powers of federalization in tandem with the fundamental political decentraliza…
The Indian Heart of the Nation
For students of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN), the events surrounding the Mexican election of 2006, and the subsequent mass protests of the supporters of losing presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador, testified to the divorce between the EZLN and many of its former allies on the Mexican political, intellectual and Indianist left, who by that time were viewed by Zapatistas as traitors to the cause. Together with serious…
Multinational Federalism and Value Pluralism
Deliberación e inclusión en la democracia republicana (Deliberation and Inclusion in Republican Democracy)
This article proposes a normative reinterpretation of rep blican democracy, given the challenges that today's societies face due to their increasing cultural diversity and pluralism. For this purpose, an additional axis has been added to the classical perspective based on the relationship between those who govern and those who are governed (an indirect relationship in representative democracy and direct in participative democracy). This new axis …
Devolution and involution
Spanish autonomous communities have extensive powers in education, gradually extended since the 1980s. These have been used to engage in region and nation-building at the level of the autonomous communities. There is also a division between the main state-wide parties over secularism and the degree of inequality in the education system. Under the government of the Popular Party (1996–2004) there was an effort to recentralize the educational syste…

Politics and the nation
Based on a critique of the exogenous and expressive views of politics underlying many studies of nationalism, this article analyses the political factors that affect nation‐building processes in a direct manner. First, ethnicity should be considered not so much as an historical and objective starting point but as the outcome of nationalist intellectuals' efforts at filtering and selecting political and cultural elements. It is important to examin…

Making Opportunities
This article shows that the fact that the Bloque Nacionalista Galego went from being a marginal force to the second largest regional party in the Galician autonomous parliament was due both to the favourable political opportunity structure of the new institutional setting of the Spanish state of autonomies and also to its outstanding capacity for a multilevel organization, charismatic leadership and effective mobilisation repertories, together wi…
