      abstract = {This book explores the conflict between the Catalan  project to become independent and the Spanish states  opposition to any attempt of secessionism. The volume  addresses some of the key political and academic issues of  contemporary European societies: nationalism, separatism  and sovereignty. The banned referendum in Catalonia in  October 2017 unveiled the existence of multiple crises,  from territorial to economic and political. Indeed, the  Catalan issue is about the crisis of sovereignty: who holds  legitimacy to make decisions, and who is in power legally  and politically? The book is structured according to three  themes: sovereignty and its people, where the realignment  to independence, populism and the definition of the demos  are discussed; collective identities and actions, to  account for the shaping of us, the importance of collective  memory and the cross-alliances forged during the  referendum; and internationalization, focusing on  Europeanisation, international media and comparative  constitutional perspectives. Oscar Garcia Agustin is  Associate Professor in the Department of Culture and  Learning at Aalborg University, Denmark. He is Head of the  DEMOS research group. He is the author of Left-Wing  Populism (2020), Solidarity and the Refugee Crisis in  Europe (with Martin Bak Jorgensen, 2018), and Podemos and  the New Political Cycle (with Marco Briziarelli, 2018).},
