Why Stay Together? State Nationalism and Justifications for State Unity in Spain and the UK This paper examines the way party elites in the UK and Spain discursively construct the nation and justify state integrity in the face of resurging Catalan and Scottish demands for self-determination and independence. While in each case there is a plurality of conceptions of the state, in Spain the demos is predominantly defined as a single, indivisible nation of equal citizens while in the UK the focus is typically on a plurinational Union. This, we contend, shapes the arguments made in favor of state unity. The dominant case for state integrity in Spain is more negative, focused primarily on the unconstitutionality of independence and delegitimizing the independence agenda.
