Territoire et politique en Europe du sud

Résumé :

In the countries of Southern Europe (Spain, Italy), uncompleted nation-building has allowed the development of specific relations between pollues and territory. These relations are now regulated by territorial statutes provided for in the Constitutions. They are however driven by complex socio-policital processes : current articulation of territorialized political subcultures or of nation-bound political cultures; political competition between territories or between political forces representing territories; particular operation of interest representation. The combination of these processes endows the territories with highly differentiated political capacities, variously adapted to the stakes of European competition, which can be analyzed as different modes of political exchange.
