Scottish devolution & Basque Historical titles

Abstract

This paper will resume certain legal and political comparative sources and reflections on Basque Historical rights and Scottish Devolution within both «constitutional» cases, in order to establish a brief comparative approach. It will underline the potentials of these frameworks to develop the concept of co-sovereignty through mutual «constitutional» recognition within the UK and Spain and even towards the EU. In the Basque case it is therefore important to consider some historical data concerning the legal framework that explains and presents the problem of Historical Rights in the different territorial contexts of Euskal Herria.
