Political Communities in a Global Age.

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 globalisation. 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.

Guibernau offers a comparative analysis of nationalist movements in nations without states and considers cultural resistance and political terrorism as strategies currently employed by some of these nations to attain their goals. The future shape of the nation-state and the conditions for the success of alternative structures, such as those prompted by substate nationalist movements, lie at the core of the book.

Suitable for second-year undergraduates and above in sociology, politics and international studies.
