“…On the one hand, we find that birth and language are the basic mechanisms articulating regional collective identities both in the Basque Country and Catalonia. However, Valencia, as it has been shown in previous studies (Coller ; Coller and Castelló ), represents an atypical case of collective identities in Spain insofar the regional identity is decoupled from linguistic factors. In the first two cases, we can identify an ethnolinguistic divide that splits society in two, incrementing thus the social distance between groups.…”

“…The level of education has been correlated to peripheral identities in the Basque Country and Catalonia in previous studies (Miley ) as well as in Valencia (Coller ; Coller and Castelló ). Some authors (Anderson ; Gellner ) suggest that intellectuals, as members of the intelligentsia, or consumers of its products, are more likely to be pro‐nationalist and thus share a peripheral identity because of the part played by local intelligentsia in the development of national myths and the spread of nationalism (Hroch ).…”

“…Dual identities combine regional and national identities for people equally identifying with the Spanish referent and the Basque, Catalan or Valencian reference (Linz ). This three‐group typology of identity models has previously been widely used to explain the changes in collective identities in Spain (Coller and Castelló ; García Ferrando et al ; Herranz de Rafael ; Linz ; Miley ).…”

This paper explores the factors determining collective identities in the Basque Country and Catalonia, paying special attention to language and birth as key domains of ethnolinguistic divide. We will also make a comparison to the case of Valencia, a region with a native language that nevertheless has not developed a nationalist movement. We have performed a cluster analysis to compare the differences between collective identities in these regions using data from the survey on National Identity in Spain, and discriminant analysis is used to test the validity of our model. Results show that an ethnolinguistic division, based on parental origin and linguistic skills, defines peripheral identities in the Basque Country and Catalonia, but this singularity cannot be found for Valencia. Finally, our model corroborates the relevance of ethnolinguistic factors in defining collective identities in the Basque and Catalan regions, while the civic factor may be more relevant in Valencia.

“…Also, in the post-Franco era some communist parties, such as the Basque wing of the United Left (Izquierda Unida), had no clear program relating to ethnonational minorities; we have excluded them from the ethnonational party family. We also exclude the Valencians from the dataset because this group showed no strong signs of ethnonational identity in the Second Republic, which is also demonstrated by the fact that group identity was still very weak in the early days after Franco (Coller and Castelló, 1999).…”

Deindustrialization fosters ethnonationalism; a comparative analysis of ethnonational parties in Western Europe, 1918–2018

This article demonstrates that deindustrialization increases ethnonational mobilization. We maintain that levels of mobilization of ethnonational movements are to an important extent a residual to the class cleavage, that is, to the degree the class conflict dominates political competition. Since in the context of Western Europe industrialism is the main force behind the class cleavage, deindustrialization weakens this cleavage and allows instead for mobilization along ethnonational divisions. In order to empirically test our argument, we analyze levels of electoral mobilization of ethnonational party blocs among 15 Western European minorities between 1918 and 2018. Our analysis clearly reveals that levels of industrialization are negatively related to ethnonational mobilization. However, this is only true for regions with historically high levels of industrialization and if the ethnonational movement is unified. The article contributes to the comparative literature on the electoral performance of ethnonational parties and the literature on deindustrialization and nationalism.

“…Just as a significant part of Catalans or Basques want to separate from Spain, so do Scots in Great Britain, Flemings in Belgium and Russians in Ukraine. What is specific for the citizens of Spain is that they dominantly nurture the so-called dual identity, that is, they feel at the same time Spaniards and Andalusians or Spaniards and Valencians(Coller and Castelló 1999).…”

Is Spain Threatened by a Permanent Political Crisis?

The political situation in Spain, after the failed attempt of a unilateral declaration of the independence of Catalonia, has become the subject of study by the scientific and professional public throughout Europe and the world. The strained political relations between official Madrid and Catalonia have reached their peak in the last few years, which leads us to the conclusion that the Spanish state is in a political crisis. In this paper, we will examine the potential sources of this crisis, which may include the crisis of the regional model of the state, the future of the monarchy, the crisis of Spanish identity, separatism in Catalonia and the Basque Country, the rise of the far-left and far-right, and other factors that may further induce political crisis (such as the economic and demographic situation). In conclusion, we will propose the improvement of the regional state as a solution (as opposed to the proposals on the federalization of Spain), as well as the abandonment of radical strategies wherever they come from.
