Abstract
I am a latecomer to practical politics. I stood for parliamentary elections for the first time in 1999 and my experience in parliamentary politics is therefore only one year old. On the other hand, as a professor, I am not a specialist on nationalism and its institutional and constitutional consequences, as other distinguished colleagues who are here this afternoon. I'll try to answer the organisers questions about the Catalan experience of autonomy or selfgovernment. Is it possible for 'stateless nations' to use autonomy to follow a different political agenda from the central state? Or is autonomy more limited to the amendment or different application of policies determined by the centre? Does globalisation and the rise in importance of international political organisations such as the EU constrain the autonomy of stateless nations or provide them with new opportunities for development?
