Popis: The article explores how the federal structure of the Basque Country has checked tendencies to the centralization and concentration of political and economic power. This distinctive pattern of distributing power and political autonomy has not only led to a distinctive form of Basque democracy, but has also shaped the meaning of Basque nationalism. The analysis will illustrate that the confrontation between Basque and Spanish nationalism is as much between two national identities as it is between two different demos-building projects.
