When national symbols divide
Shared symbols are an essential element in nationalist mobilisation. National symbols provide perhaps the strongest, clearest statement of national identity and are socially constructed. The effectiveness of these symbols will determine the success or failure of a political and cultural project. The effectiveness of cultural and political symbols can be seen through examination of the project of pan-Catalanism, the Països Catalans (the Catalan-sp…
Prohibition, Tolerance, Co-option
Dictatorships, autocracies and authoritarian political systems must adapt if they wish to survive. The long-lasting dictatorship of Franco's Spain (1939–75) underwent a series of internal adaptations during its almost forty years of existence. The initial project of the Franco regime, which included the destruction of its social and political enemies, lasted until the end of the Second World War. The second phase, marked by a failed autarkic expe…
Accounting for the turn towards secession in Catalonia
Since the mid-2000s, the Catalan secessionist movement has become a key protagonist in the territory’s political landscape, moving from the margins to become the axis of political dispute. This article contextualizes this change and argues that its emergence can be accounted for by a series of structural changes, which include the evolution of Catalonia’s weight within Spain, identity shifts and comparative economic decline. The discrediting of o…
The Leading Role of the Party
Prior to the Spanish Civil War, the Catalan national movement had been regarded with deep suspicion by organized labour, and society had been torn by social and political conflict. The rise to dominance of Catalan communism and the impact this movement had on the Catalan opposition to the Franco regime enabled the over-coming of pre-war divisions. Furthermore, the defence of Catalan national identity became a key component in the left’s strategy …
For Christ and Catalonia
Princess of our noble Catalan land Oh Virgin of the mountain ... pious Mother of this land that has always loved you, make it great and powerful 1 Over the course of Franco’s dictatorship in Spain (1939–1975), we can trace a remarkable transformation in the position of the Catholic Church in the historic territory of Catalonia. Subject to deep-rooted anti-clericalism, with the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the Church found itself the target …
Autonomistes, Catalanistes and Independentistes
The Catalan political system has been subject to a series of major challenges in recent years following the creation of the three-party coalition government in December 2003, which was renewed in November 2006. The party system has been at its most fluid since the late 1970s. The origins of this shift are to be found in comparative economic decline and the impact of immigration in the territory. One consequence of a growing Catalan discontent wit…
Post-Suburban Europe
The term 'edge city' describes the rapid growth of urban centres at the edge of established cities. Widely discussed in the US, very little has been written about European edge cities. This book gives
Post-Suburban Europe
Kifissia
In ‘How Eden lost it’s garden’, Mike Davis (1996) recounts the destruction of southern California’s natural landscape in the inexorable expansion of Los Angeles — a destruction that saw mountains and the Los Angeles river both built on and water drawn by aqueduct from the San Bernadino mountains to supply an ever growing population. At first glance, the parallels to be drawn with the expansion of Athens and the place of Kifissia within the greate…
Business at the margins? Business interests in edge urban politics
The issue of the organization, role and influence of business interests in urban politics at the edge of major cities is one that is overdue for investigation. This article provides an initial and empirically oriented investigation of the organization, role and influence of business interests in edge urban politics in Europe. We present findings from five members of a European network of self-styled 'edge cities'. Following the now extensive deba…

The Reconstitution of Political Catalanism 193975
This article's aim is to analyse the transformations in political Catalanism that took place during the Franco dictatorship (193975). The two pre-Civil War forces of Catalanism, Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya and the Lliga Regionalista, lost their hegemony during the course of the dictatorship. At the regime's end, new forces emerged in Catalonia and, in the terrain of nationalism, Convergncia i Uni became representative of the changes in Cata…
