“…In addition, the Galician institutions created an infrastructure policy that would consolidate the territory, and sought to develop public media such as TVG, with Galicianoriented programmes and cultivated identity markers, symbols and myths (fiestas, music, recovery of the "historical memory", ancestors and precursors etc.). These all helped to create or reinforce a perception of belonging and a collective identity which had not previously existed (Máiz and Losada 1999). This underlying popular galleguismo, a sense of collective identity as Galicians, was largely dual and overlapping in character (both Spanish and Galician).…”

This article shows that the fact that the Bloque Nacionalista Galego went from being a marginal force to the second largest regional party in the Galician autonomous parliament was due both to the favourable political opportunity structure of the new institutional setting of the Spanish state of autonomies and also to its outstanding capacity for a multilevel organization, charismatic leadership and effective mobilisation repertories, together with the moderation of its initially radical nationalist discourse. Particularly, a successful strategy of frame realignment allowed it to connect with the overlapping and dual Galician‐Spanish identity of most Galician voters.

“…Pero esa nación, construida y que interpela a una mayoría social traducida electoralmente, estaría basada en la premisa de que la nación no viene dada de antemano (Máiz, 1995, p. 35), sino que es construida de manera contingente y performativa discursivamente, dado que dicha identidad colectiva se articularía en la medida en que se dan una serie de condiciones, que solo pueden ser analizadas desde el marco teórico que nos ofrece el análisis de movimientos sociales, la genealogía en la construcción de identidades políticas, el análisis del discurso y el estudio de los nacionalismos, todos ellos desde enfoques ligados al postestructuralismo y al constructivismo. Por tanto, la nación va a ser analizada y considerada en sí misma como "un producto sociopolítico resultante de complejos procesos de nation-building" (Máiz y Losada, 2000) mediados por la construcción un campo político definido el nosotros (identidad colectiva nacional popular) frente a los ellos (oligarquía, partidocracia, etc.). Ambos, desde el espectro que nos ofrece al enfoque constructivista.…”

El ajuste entre Estado y nación en Latinoamérica ha observado complicaciones desde la fundación de sus repúblicas. La pluralidad de subjetividades, realidades materiales y brechas, sumadas a las coyunturales demandas insatisfechas y una débil institucionalidad influyeron en que las construcciones nacionales hayan tenido un componente populista en diferentes intentos refundadores. En los países andinos ese componente se expresa a partir de unas condiciones sociopolíticas previas a las performativas identidades nacionales y la presencia de liderazgos personalistas. Parte de los estudios sobre identidades nacionales en estos países se centraron en el análisis de sus liderazgos y discursos. Otros optaron por centrarse en los procesos o condiciones de posibilidad que favorecen la irrupción de estas identidades. El objetivo del trabajo es brindar una base epistemológica que emerja de la compatibilidad entre los anteriores abordajes explicativos de las identidades nacionales.

“…In the Comarca de Verín, public funds were often oriented towards visible, short-term development goals which would benefit local politicians in the (re-) election phase. The increasing power, clientelism (Hopkins, 2001;Máiz and Losada, 2000) and self-centred interests of local government were argued to jeopardise long-term development visions. In Upper Lusatia-Lower Silesia similar concerns about short-termed political agenda setting and investments were raised.…”

Raising collective agency is key to successful place-based development approaches. Existing policy arrangements have, however, been criticised, suggesting a need to effectuate more collaborative modes of governance. This paper shall contribute to a better understanding of how public support can best be arranged to raise collective agency for a more collaborative mode of governance in rural areas. The paper elaborates on findings of empirical investigations conducted within the EU FP7 project DERREG. It will be shown that differences in effectuating more collaborative modes of governance can partly be ascribed to different political dynamics, economic and demographic situations as well as the presence of a shared sense of place. To raise collective agency effectively requires a joint reconsideration and restructuring of the division of roles and tasks, including those of public administration. This can be supported by facilitating joint reflexivity among development actors and giving room for collaborative leadership and operational flexibility within policy arrangements.
