description This thesis undertakes a comparative study of Scotland and Catalonia with respect to the politics of decentralisation and ethnic nationalism within their respective British and Spanish frameworks. The subjects of this comparative study share a somewhat similar configuration as sub-state peripheral nations with analogous perceptions, interpretations and aspirations for home rule. Nonetheless, Scotland and Catalonia have not followed parallel processes over the last decades, as far as the achievements of institutional forms of self-govenrment is concerned. During the last decades, the revival of ethnoterritorial political movements in Western Europe has coincided with an increasing challenge to the legitimation of the centralist model of the unitary state. Not suprisingly, both elements of decentralisation amd ethnical pluralism have been, and still are, major sources of political conflict in the national-multinational United KIndom and Spain. This thesis aims at identifying the trens and circumstances underlying the political developments towards the achievement of decentralised forms of self-government in Scotland and Catalonia. The prospective work carried out in the final part of this piece of research contributes to the finding of optimal alternatives for the political futures of both British Scotland and Spanish Catalonia.
