Nations Against the State: The New Politics of Nationalism in Quebec, Catalonia, and Scotland

Michael Keating, Professor of Regional Studies European University Institute and Professor of Scottish Politics Michael Keating

St. Martins Press, 1996 - Political Science - 260 pages

Examining the cases of Quebec, Catalonia, and Scotland, Keating (political science, U. of Western Ontario) argues that nationalist politics have shifted from demanding a nation-state to preserving social cohesion in a world of weakened states. He asserts that the new nationalisms are civic rather than ethnic and exclusive, and that they are free trading and rooted in civil society as much as in state institutions.
