What is stateless nation?
—Nation, characterized by common history,
culture, traditions...a nation should be a state or
part of neighbouring state...doesn’t have
sovereignty otherwise they are part of the
population or nation of a state that doesn’t have
the same history which created a stateless nation
—Stateless nations want to be a state or
independent that can be achieved either in
peaceful or violent way or desire reunification
with the homeland, ERRENDENTISM.
There’s a phenomenon that triggers the
creation of Nation State
Minority nationalism, sila ay maliliit na grupo ng
tao that have their own identity that should be
accorded autonomy or independence. Trigger,
because of discrimination, not being heard, and
difference in their identities, belief, culture,
behaviour with other major nationals or states.
Possible ang violence.
Ex. Those states members in the soviet union
East Germany and other communist states not
being able to support by USSR joined in western
Germany and NATO. They don’t have the same
attitude or behaviour because they come from
different background and its effect is variations in
belief and perceptions.
Is there sovereignty in a stateless nation?
—They don’t have sovereignty over themselves
but the nation or state they belong have
sovereignty over them. Nation imposed trust
based on same beliefs, culture, language. So
sovereignty is really trust with each other based
on same beliefs.
of sovereignty therefore created a unity among
themselves...because they don’t have guarantee
from outside control.
—It causes violence because of differences but
during the past it slightly diminished because of
2 events:
What is the meaning of latency to relevancy?
—Being violent by minority nationalism
transition to being good or better.
—What is the development during the transition.
Democracy and voting
—Bakit nagkaroon ng democracy and ano yung
sinisigaw ng mga tao na nasa minority
nationalism?
Marami daw kasing dinedemand ang tao tulad ng
Karapatan kaya binigyan sila ng participation or
democracy which participation from the very low
people to the highest level of people hen
nagkaroon ng voting and these are the 2
developments occurred then naging Maganda
ang position ng minority nationalism, naging
relevant sila.
Stateless nation doesn’t have their own
government and sovereignty (discuss in
Belgium, UK, and France).
What is federalism? The power of government
that is divided between the central government
and local or regional government like US.
Unitary or presidential government that has only
one central government.
Is Federalism a solution to Belgium? Bakit sila
naging federalism?
—Belgium has three nations the walloom,
French speaking, and Flemish. Ano yung
pinagkakaiba nila? Language or linguistically
divided and etc., French speakers are French
speaking, wallooms...as a result it created chaos.
Bakit nila naisip na federalism ang solution?
—Hindi kaya ng prime minister na iunite yung 3
regions kaya ang ginawa nila is na kanya kanya
muna tayo then para hindi na magkaroon ng
minority nationalism bibigyan nalang sila.
What is asymmetrical federalism?
There was 2 region that make spain asymmetrical
federalism?
Catalonia and B,
Federalism is hybrid system na yung ibang
country ay nagooperate as unitary state pero
may devolution powers sa mga regions na
merong mga country duon na mukhang federal
2

state or independent state pero in according to

the constitution hindi naman sila federalism pero
bakit?
Devolution, yung mga from central ay napunta
sa local, is it normal for federalism?

What is importance of Devolution to

asymmetrical federalism? Page 45

Bakit asymmetrical federalism ang Spain?

Hindi pantay pantay, federalism ay kanya kanya
tayo bawat region na kanya kanyang source, tax,
batas.

Bakit sya asymmetrical?

—Yung government still unitary and na
parliamentary kaya may sinabing na parang hindi
federal state pero may dalawang areas in spain
na gusto magclaim ng sovereignty pero ayaw ng
spain na pakawalan sila na para silang BARMM sa
region na yun overall unitary sila pero yung
dalawa na yun ay federal sila kaya asymmetrical.
Kaya tinawag din syang devolution kasi evolution
is moving forward ngayon spain is multiple
region naging united ngayon dahil sya
nagdedevolve para bigyan ng freedom yung
other nations na sumama sa kanya.
—Isa separatist movement that demand
independence but denied meanwhile in
Catalonia nagpropromote ng own government
and catala language and pursue independence
that caused tension in spain.
