Beschreibung:
Nations without states - where there is a strong sense of national identity, but no state - are common. They have a new importance today, when established nation-states are changing their nature in response to globalization. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Western substate nationalism by drawing on a wide range of case studies which include Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, the Basque Country, Northern Ireland, Quebec and Indian nations in North America.
