Abstract
The study aims to examine the EU attitude towards secession resulted from the rise of nationalism at the sub-state level by focusing on the rising of nationalist secessionist tendencies in the sub-state nations, namely the cases of Catalonia and Scotland. The study relies on the comparative case study approach, which helps to observe, describe, and interpret different statuses through its application to specific models. This study depends on reviewing the diverse literature, EU treaties, documents, and political statements regarding the secession of sub-state nations. Also, this study contributes significantly to stress on the differences between the two case studies and presents an important analysis of the EU attitude towards the nationalist calls for secession in both cases. This study seeks to clarify that the EU response towards the secessionist cases of Scotland and Catalonia differs based on the situation of each case, which represents a challenge to the EU attitude while dealing with the sub-state nations.
