| Title | Catalonia the rebellious sister and Galicia the perfect child: Why do we see different levels of secessionist movements across countries through regional identification? |
| Summary | This thesis investigates the cause and effect of differencing levels of nationalism across countries through regional identification. Through examining the discourse between regional and national identity. For this objective the historical autonomous regions of Catalonia and Galicia, Spain have been selected for a comparative study, with what constitutes Galician identity as the main objective. This is done by illustrating their different political and economic developments. Along, with relying on Critical Discourse Analysis to examine public opinion sections in Galician newspapers, and interviews in Ourense, Galicia. This research concludes that the to identify as Galician means to be of Celtic and Spanish culture. This duel culture creates less of a regional stronghold, equaling lower levels of secessionist movements. |
