Is heritage tourism a panacea for rural decline? A comparative study of the Camino de Santiago and the Canal de Castilla in Spain
The aim of this article is to establish whether fostering rural tourism by reuse and promotion of heritage has been able to mitigate the demographic decline in a depopulating area of Spain. Two types of route-based tourism in the north-west of Castile are compared, namely the millenary pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and the nineteenth-century Castile Canal. For three decades, public authorities have actively stimulated tourism along t…
Old and New Perspectives on Basque Nationalism and Violence
Has the Basque borderland become more Basque after opening the Franco-Spanish border
For more than a century, state and sub-state nationalisms have competed in the Basque borderland. At present, this competition implies contested imaginations of the Franco-Spanish borderland. This article explores these imaginations in terms of cross-border and intra-state integration. Nationalist rhetoric substantially differs from daily cultural experiences and political practice. Paradoxically, the opening-up of the Franco-Spanish border as a …
The Basque power‐sharing experience: From a Destructive to a Constructive Conflict
Neither the devolution of powers to the Basque Autonomous Community in Spain nor more than a decade of power‐sharing within this region has led to a peaceful settlement of the Basque conflict. Combining Kriesberg's approach to conflict resolution and consociational theory, past power‐sharing experiences are analysed. The lack of overarching loyalties, traditions of compromise, comprehensive participation and the continuation of violence have frus…
Basque Violence: A Reappraisal of Culturalist Explanations
David Laitin has explained the occurrence of Basque and Georgian nationalist violence as the outcome of language revival in a bilingual setting and a specific locale. Based on game theory, he has suggested that violence, as a rational nationalist strategy, will increasingly be used if specific thresholds levels in language choice for education are met. A critical reappraisal of his approach is made in which the conceptual and methodological limit…
Geopolitical Imaginations of the Basque Homeland
In this article the different territorial imaginations of Basqueness in Basque nationalist rhetoric and political practice are described. The seeming consensus on a greater Basque Country or Euskal Herria encompassing two administrative regions in Spain and three former provinces in France has become the hegemonic narrative at a rhetorical level. Euskal Herria as the imagined nation-state is the dominant myth compared to territorial allusions con…
Territory and Terror: Conflicting Nationalisms in the Basque Country
All Basque interpretations of national power have resulted in an uneasy mix of often fragmented and conflicting territorial identifications. Basques can identify themselves with France, Spain or an imagined Basque nation state. Territory and Terror confronts the imagined and actual territorial dimensions of nationalism, shedding new light on the Basque conflict. The study provides a rich description of territoriality analysed from a comparative p…
Institutional plurality: A way out of the Basque conflict
The aim of this article is to analyse the possibilities for a peaceful solution to the 'Basque question'. In particular, we will explore whether the concept of institutional plurality might be a suitable framework within which to identify a political solution to one of the most enduring and violent nationalistic conflicts in Western Europe. Institutional plurality is described in a previous article (Van Amersfoort 1995). Basically institutional p…

Accessibility and Language Characteristics in Catalonia
Castilianization of Catalonia is often thought to be most intensive in the most accessible and central areas. With the help of Geographical Information Systems and characteristics of the road and railway networks, centrality scores for urban municipalities and municipalities near the city of Barcelona have been calculated. The analysis of language characteristics does not show any significant relationship of accessibility on the one hand and the …
