“…That territorial identity politics has risen to the top of the agenda in this way infuses the discursive space of popular culture with assertions of regional difference and a celebration of regional strengths. This facilitates the space for the growing mobilisation of autonomist, devolutionist and separatist politics gaining traction across Europe (Miley ; Boonen and Hooghe ; Daily Telegraph ).…”

“…We might characterise this as a movement of what Guibernau () calls ‘nations without states’. Leaving Scotland and its independence referendum aside, this includes Catalunya (Miley ) and the Basque Country (Gomez‐Fortes and Cabeza Perez ) questioning their relationship with Spain, Brittany with France (Gemie ) and Friesland with Belgium (Boonen and Hooghe ). Within the first few months of 2014, 4,000 people demonstrated in Brussels to call for self‐determination (European Free Alliance EFA ), and only a few days earlier, Hungarian political parties in Transylvania drew up proposals for autonomy for Szeklerland (Nationalia 2014).…”

ABSTRACT. Stateless nations across the European Union have become increasingly vocal and confident in asserting a desire for autonomy, devolved governance and independence. Meanwhile, identity politics has become a key factor of contemporary European regional development, with utility as a social, economic and governance tool. Culture has become a resource for regional branding to attract inward investment and differentiate in terms of competitiveness. The paper considers whether the utility of identity to regional development might provide an explanation for the growing confidence of European Union stateless nations. We use the case study of Cornwall to explore the correlation, arguing that economic regionalism has provided a space for the articulation of national identities.

“…Mother tongue is especially important to ascertain ethno-regional linguistic political dynamics. It has previously been shown to influence vote choice in past Catalan elections (Miley, 2013;Muñoz Mendoza, 2008). This phenomenon is also present in Quebec and has even been demonstrated to be a determinant of voting in the 2012 election (Bilodeau, 2013;Nadeau and B elanger, 2013).…”

“…In political contexts divided along ethnolinguistic lines, mother tongue has been shown to be a determinant for individuals' political attitudes and even vote choice (Bilodeau, Turgeon, and Karakoç 2012;Miley 2013), meaning that differing ethnolinguistic groups can have differing sociopolitical preferences. The situation is further complicated by the fact that even parties from the same party family (i.e.…”
