Catalonia. National Identity and Cultural Policy

This book examines the cultural policy of the Catalan Autonomous Government under the leadership of Jordi Pujol and his party, Convergència i Unió, which were in power from the post-Franco transitional period of 1980 to Pujol´s retirement in 2003. Examining issues of national identity and cultural nationalism in the context of globalization, multiculturalism and the commodification of culture, the book looks at how Pujol´s government attempted to tackle these challenges.
