Catalan Independence and the Crisis of Sovereignty,Óscar García Agustín

-About this book

This book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the Catalan–Spanish conflict. While the referendum of 1 October 2017 is a key moment in the recent history of the conflict, the analyzes offered by the chapters of the book shed light on processes and developments both prior and posterior to the event of the referendum as well.

The book is divided into three main parts in addition to the introduction and the conclusion: sovereignty and  addition to the introduction and the conclusion: sovereignty and its people; collective identities and actions; and internationalization.

The different contributions thus reflect the main problematics of the conflict: independence, sovereignty, nationalism and populism, in the first section; mobilisations, frames and collective memories, in the second section; and Europeanization, judicialization and comparative media and legal perspectives, in the third section.
