Fuentes del Autogobierno vasco y Derecho a decidir: mito o realidad en el marco europeo

Abstract

The future of the Basque Country as a territorial entity within the context of a globalised world poses an interdisciplinary intellectual challenge, to which an important legal dimension is attached, but not solely and exclusively, because the Law should provide a means of solving problems, building bridges for coexistence, and it should not cause problems because of its imperative and inflexible nature. We are compelled to examine Europe and analyse comparable international practices, to try to make the case that the solution is cannot be reached through what is always harmful simplification. We must move away from Manichaeism and examine all of the alternatives that could possibly be accommodated within our self-government, within the international context of «realpolitik», both from an internal and external perspective.
