    Democracy vs. Nationalism: A View from Tocqueville Upon the Basque Country
    in Democracy and Security , Volume 5, Issue 1, January ,  2009 ,  1-18
    The point of departure of this study is a theoretical and practical analysis of the current state of our Western democracies in order to subsequently apply it to the current situation that Spain is undergoing with the terrorism of ETA in the Basque Country. It concludes with a vision of Alexis de Tocqueville's democracy and its possible practical contribution to the case of the present Spanish democracy and its problems with the terrorism of ETA, studied from the perspective of politicians at a national (PSOE / PP) and autonomous level (PNV), as well as from the social level of the Basque people.
