This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Catalonian crisis in Spain from a historical, political and legal perspective. Using the precedents of Québec, Scotland, and partially Veneto and Bavaria, the author highlights some of the key issues of contemporary secessionist nationalism, including its relationship with sovereignty, the right to have a referendum, and the capacity of a particular territory to amend the constitution in order to admit secession.
Miguel Beltrán de Felipe is Professor of Law at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. He previously served as a law clerk in the Constitutional Court of Spain, as APSA-Fulbright Congressional Fellow in the House of Representatives of the US, and as a legal counsel for the Secretary of State for Parliamentary Affairs of Spain.
1 Historical and Constitutional Background: An Account of the Catalan Secessionist Process.- 2 Constitutional and comparative analysis of the Catalan Secessionist Process.- 3 Paradoxes, Mistakes, and Possible Steps Towards an Appeased Solution.
"Professor Beltrán has written a deep and interesting book about the so-called Catalan secessionist process, in which complicated deep constitutional and political questions are ingratiated. ... It can be valuable for academics looking for patterns in the complicated world of nationalism and constitutionalism, but also for non-academic audiences interested in a well-written and challenging book on one of the most candent topics in modern Europe: an unprecedented attempt of secession in an occidental democratic country." (Javier Padilla Moreno-Torres, European Public Law, Vol. 26 (2), 2020)
