Abstract
The permanent crisis over the national identity has constituted one of the most important historical conflicts in contemporary Spain. The Spanish state has traditionally maintained an extremely centralist and uniform structure. This uniformity strongly collided with the historical, cultural and linguistic diversity of the different Spanish nationalities and regions. Spain consists of several distinct ethnic groups, each with its own language and cultural traditions. While Castillian has been recognized as the national language and many foreigners commonly perceive Castillian as ‘Spanish’, in important regions Castillian is but a second language.KeywordsPolice ForceBasque CountryAutonomous CommunitySpanish StateNationalist PartyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
