A view from abroad to the internationalization of the Catalan crisis. Exiled President of Catalonia Carles Puigdemont was arrested in Germany in March 2018 on his way back from Finland. That marked a turning point in the internationalization of the Catalan crisis. German court refused his extradition to Spain arguing he had not committed rebellion. Meanwhile part of the legitimate Government of Catalonia as well as civil society leaders have been in an unjust pre-trial detention for over 1,5 years. Trial against Catalan political prisoners is coming to an end in the summer of 2019. Sentences are expected to be harsh further escalating the political conflict between Spain and Catalonia. Janne Riitakorpi, co-organizer of President Puigdemont’s visit to Finland, analyses in his book the recent years of the Catalan independence movement from an international perspective. Book contains background to Europe's strongest secessionist movement, detailed analysis of international reactions witnessed during the tense autumn of 2017 as well as author’s personal experiences from the heart of the Catalan struggle. Riitakorpi lived in Barcelona in 2017 and worked for the Public Diplomacy Council of Catalonia during the 1 October referendum and 27 October declaration of independence. He is also Secretary of the Foreign Friends of Catalonia as well as the Executive Director of the Finland-Catalonia Friendship Association. Foreword by the 130th President of Catalonia Carles Puigdemont.

The Catalan independence crisis of late 2017 shook Europe and the world. How did it happen? What were the political consequences? Does Catalonia have a legitimate political claim to be an independent state? These issues are investigated from the perspective of one of the international actors involved in the crisis. The conclusion proffered is one derived from an unusual way of thinking about the problem. The Catalan crisis will continue indefinitely unless and until we understand what the underlying tension between Madrid and Barcelona really is. And it is a very serious problem, which goes to the heart of both the Spanish constitutional system and the position the Catalan body politic occupies within it. The Catalan crisis is not a matter of opposing and irreconcilable historical narratives about Spanish and Catalan cultures. Instead it is a sophisticated mixture of political and economic confrontations, some of which are historical but most of which are very modern. The principal dynamic driving the most recent in the spate of Catalan crises is the adoption by the European Union of a single currency. This disrupted a level of political and economic harmony between Madrid and Barcelona, that it is not clear can easily be restored. This book does offer an unambiguous answer to the question posed by its title. But it is not an answer that is reached with comfort, because the reason the Catalan independence crisis has reached the extremes it has is that Spain as a whole, and Catalonia as a region, are fiscally unsustainable. The principal purpose of this work is to chart the course of recent Spanish and Catalan history to help understand why the economic situation in Spain catalysed so serious a breakdown in the relations between the Catalans and Madrid. This book is not certain in the conclusions that it reaches. One thing we can be sure of, however, is that if the European Union is to adopt a mature attitude towards the problems facing modern Spain then it needs to change the angle of the lens through which to date it has viewed the Catalan crisis. Otherwise everything will get much worse, and the solvency of the Eurozone as a whole will be at stake.

This book explores the conflict between the Catalan project to become independent and the Spanish state’s opposition to any attempt of secessionism. The volume addresses some of the key political and academic issues of contemporary European societies: nationalism, separatism and sovereignty. The banned referendum in Catalonia in October 2017 unveiled the existence of multiple crises, from territorial to economic and political. Indeed, the Catalan issue is about the crisis of sovereignty: who holds legitimacy to make decisions, and who is in power legally and politically? The book is structured according to three themes: sovereignty and its people, where the realignment to independence, populism and the definition of the demos are discussed; collective identities and actions, to account for the shaping of ‘us’, the importance of collective memory and the cross-alliances forged during the referendum; and internationalization, focusing on Europeanisation, international media and comparative constitutional perspectives.

Applying theory to the political crisis in Catalonia and Spain. The Catalan Crisis explores the dissolution of the politico-territorial status quo between Catalonia and Spain and examines the emergence of the Catalan push for self-determination. The main topics covered in the book include the articulation of state unity in post-Francoist Spain; the rationalization of state nationalism and the criminalization of its alternatives; the generation of new forms of radical politics based on the polarization of the political space in Catalonia; and the difficulties encountered by Spanish liberal democracy when trying to accommodate demands based on political and cultural decentralization. In its analysis, the book aims to answer key questions surrounding the conflict, including how the Catalan case can shed light on new forms of democratic participation, resistance, disobedience, and emancipation on a global level.

As recently as the mid-2000s, Catalonia was described and analysed by scholars as exhibiting a non-secessionist nationalism and was seen within Europe and beyond as a role model for successful devolution which had much to teach other parts of the world. The Spanish state seemed to be on a journey towards an authentic federal order and was generally admired. However, the new century has been marked by an ever-growing independence movement, with 47.8 per cent of Catalonia voting in favour of independence in September 2015. Pro-independence mobilization has produced a rupture in political relations with the rest of Spain leading to a sovereignty struggle with Madrid. This book explores how an accumulation of long-, medium- and short-term factors have produced the current situation and why the Spanish territorial model has been unable or possibly, unwilling, to respond. The Catalan question is not purely a Spanish problem: it has direct implications for the traditional nation-state model, in Europe and beyond.

Catalonia: A New History revises many traditional and romantic conceptions in the historiography of a small nation. This book engages with the scholarship of the past decade and separates nationalist myth-history from real historical processes. It is thus able to provide the reader with an analytical account, situating each historical period within its temporal context. Catalonia emerges as a territory where complex social forces interact, where revolts and rebellions are frequent. This is a contested terrain where political ideologies have sought to impose their interpretation of Catalan reality. This book situates Catalonia within the wider currents of European and Spanish history, from pre-history to the contemporary independence movement, and makes an important contribution to our understanding of nation-making.

This edited collection presents an economic history of Catalonia and its economic crises, from Roman times to the political difficulties of the present day. It considers how the strong identity of the Catalan people has been reinforced in critical episodes such as the commercial revolution of the Late Medieval Age, the 1640 rebellion, the Succession War of 1705-1714, the industrial revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the strong repression during early Francoism. The book also explores how historical parallels from Catalonia’s past might shed light on the long-term consequences of the Great Recession of 2007-9 and recovery in the EU, showing how the typical Mediterranean approach of adjusting to crises by depreciating currencies and expanding public deficits has been less straightforward during the most recent financial crisis. A particularly deep slump has contributed to fostering the claim for independence of Catalonia in recent times, echoing larger dissatisfaction with EU monetary policy. With a comprehensive overview of major events in Catalonian economic history and their broader implications to European political economy and development, this book will be of interest to students and academics in economic history, social history, and monetary economics.
