An examination of Basque nationalism from a historical   perspective    Basque nationalism has been extensively examined from the perspectives of   Basque culture and internal conditions in the Basque Country, but Andre   Lecours is among the first to demonstrate how Basque nationalism was shaped   by the many forms and historical phases of the Spanish state. His   discussion employs one of the most debated approaches in the social   sciences -- historical institutionalism -- and it includes an up-to-date   examination of the circumstances for, and consequences of, recent events   such as ETA's announcement in 2006 of a permanent cease-fire.    Lecours also analyzes other aspects of Basque nationalism, including the   international relations of the Basque Autonomous Government, as well as the   responses of the contemporary Spanish state and how it deploys its own   brand of nationalism. Finally, the book offers a comparative discussion of   Basque, Catalan, Scottish, Flemish, and Quebecois nationalist movements,   suggesting that nationalism in the Basque Country, despite the historical   presence of violence, is in many ways similar to nationalism in other   industrialized democracies.    Basque Nationalism and the Spanish State is an original and   provocative discussion that is essential reading for anyone interested in   the Basques or in the development of modern nationalist movements.
