Reviews

Review from previous edition This is a well-informed and well-written book. It will be indispensable for all those interested in Catalan and Spanish politics and economics, as well as for those interested in the main challenges faced by nations without states in the age of globalization. * Political Studies Review * This book offers an excellent and comprehensive introduction to the history, economics, culture, and political life of Catalonia. * Political Studies Review * Meticulously researched, the strength of this book lies in its bibliography and information generated by a series of extensive interviews with Catalan politicians, civil servants and academics. The level of detail garnered in this account is remarkable, making it an excellent reference book ... the book contributes to the literature on Catalan nationalism and provides a succinct and accessible introduction to contemporary Catalonia. * Nations and Nationalism * This book is dedicated in its entirety to contemporary Catalan politics, society and economics and, as such is a useful handbook for researchers and practitioners alike. * Nations and Nationalism *
