Separatism and Sovereignty in the New Europe: Party Politics and the Meanings of Statehood in a Supranational Context

By Janet Laible

This book investigates why, despite European integration, separatist nationalism continues to thrive in EU member states. Laible demonstrates that the EU sustains the importance of statehood, and therefore separatism, and creates new forms of political capital that nationalists employ in their struggles for self-government.
