Territory and Terror

<p>All Basque interpretations of national power have resulted in an uneasy mix of often fragmented and conflicting territorial identifications. </p><p>Basques can identify themselves with France Spain or an imagined Basque nation state. <em>Territory and Terror</em> confronts the imagined and actual territorial dimensions of nationalism shedding new light on the Basque conflict. <br><br>The study provides a rich description of territoriality analysed from a comparative perspective and explores the relation between territoriality and regional differences in conflict intensity. It supplies an account of the oft-overlooked internal struggles between Basques arguing that overestimation of Basque nationalism as the ideological force behind the conflict often leads to a disregard of the identification of many with France or Spain. In addition the author investigates the conflicts between Basque nationalists themselves over key issues such as terrorist activity. <br><br><em>Territory and Terror</em> will appeal to students and researchers of nationalism and territoriality in particular to those with an interest in the Basque country.</p>
