“…46 La cuestión nacional-territorial entra en escena visualizando la superposición entre los ejes derecha-izquierda y centralismo-pluralidad/plurinacionalidad. 47 Y el modelo territorial, que ha-bía gozado de una amplia aceptación, empieza a ser puesto en duda, tanto desde una perspectiva centrípeta (apuestas por la recentralización) como de una centrífuga (demandas de mayor autogobierno y hasta de independencia).…”

“…Few studies, however, have analysed the legacies of authoritarian regimes on political violence. Wucherpfennig et al (2016) partly address this issue by studying the legacies of different colonial regimes on the likelihood of conflict in postcolonial states, while Sánchez-Cuenca (2019) argues that the legacies of post-First World War regimes help explain the occurrence of revolutionary (mainly left-wing) terrorism in developed countries in the 1960s and 1970s.
