- Regionalism and Regional Autonomy in an Age of RenationalizationPublication . Amaral, Carlos Eduardo PachecoOrganized in three fundamental moments, this text focuses upon the ideas of regionalism and regional autonomy, instrumentally understood as tools that allow us to revisit the political organization of the Continent. A first moment is dedicated to the idea of sovereignty and to the Europe of sovereign independent States it heralded. A second moment is centered upon the erosion of sovereignty and the crisis that befell the Europe of sovereign States, at least, since the middle of the last century- opening the way, in fact, to the re-emergence of the ideas of regional autonomy and infra and supra-national integration. A third moment highlights the re-emergence of the idea of regional autonomy and the ways in which it has been recuperated to forge and to integrate new political communities in the continent, both within and beyond the previously sovereign States, transfiguring the political map of Europe. Finally, a concluding moment is reserved to an evaluation, albeit tentative, of the success and shortcomings of regional autonomy and of both infra-national and supra-national integration throughout Europe in the second half of the 20th century and in these first decades of the 21st century- and the study of the current reinforcement and growing appeal of nationalism and State sovereignty, both at the supra-national, European, level, evidenced in such tendencies as the Brexit, for example, and at the infra-national level, manifest in the separatist aspirations of autonomous regions that appear to aspire to become sovereign States, like Catalonia, Scotland or Flanders, for example.
