Rezensionen
'Anyone wishing to understand the 'tragedy' of Basque politics will find this book indispensable...a great merit of the book is the way that it shows that this clash of 'identities' is a throughly political rather than a cultural process...as well as the impressive scholarship, the tremendous personal courage behind this book also deserves great praise.' - John MacInnes, Scottish Affairs

'Nationalism, Violence and Democracy is an important contribution to the field of Basque studies made by a scholar with an outstanding ability to synthesize the complex history of the Basque Provinces. Mees has provided a detached, scientific and interdisciplinary explanation of the conditions leading to the Basque peace process and its aftermath...Students and researchers of ETA and radical Basque nationalism and also those interested in ethnic conflict regulation should have an interest in this remarkable book.' - Diego Muro, South European Society and Politics
