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.
