78. "speaking of regionalism" In response to In response to 73 Tue Jul-09-02 11:24 AM
one thing i know from reading about the uk, is that the creation of the eu has allowed subnational ethnicities suppressed (suppressed, mofo!) under 19th century nationalism (or if you take linda colley's argument, bribed by the booty of empire) are rearticulating themselves. this is why there was a movement to devolve authority and create the scottish and welsh parliaments.
i'd be surprised if there weren't similar from other eu countries. comments?
