The Catalan Crisis in Context: Perspectives from France

Résumé

On the one hand, the Catalan crisis can be viewed from France as an unprecedented breach of the rule of law. Even if the case is very specific and even if their posture towards states’ sovereignty is not always consistent, the European leaders, in particular the French ones, strongly support the Spanish central government. On the other hand, the Catalan crisis is all the more carefully followed in France that the French decentralised unitary State has currently to face some claims for greater autonomy by two specific territorial authorities, Corsica and New Caledonia. These demands can be regarded in light of the Catalan crisis and other similar situations in Europe, but the same causes don’t always produce the same effects...
