Review’s Radio: Visions of Sovereignty in Québec and Catalonia

By Angello Alcazar

How does the global phenomenon of nationalism manifest differently from one local context to another? Professor Jaime Lluch (Ph.D., J.D., Yale University) of the University of Puerto Rico sat down with MIR’s Angello Alcázar to give us his insight on the issue, using Québec and Catalonia as relevant case studies in the spectrum of nationalist behaviour. Dr. Lluch is the author of the acclaimed book Visions of Sovereignty: Nationalism and Accommodation in Multinational Democracies (2014), also published in Europe as The Moral Polity of the Nationalist: Sovereignty and Accommodation in Catalonia and Quebec (1976-2010).
