Supranational Identity Politics: Sovereignism In The Eu, Emilio Jacintho
Supranational Identity Politics: Sovereignism In The Eu, Emilio Jacintho
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The implementation of identity politics policies conceived at a supranational level appears to motivate the coordination of populist movements, the radicalization of their discourses, and an increasing resentment towards minority groups.

Given that Argentines form one of the biggest migrant communities in Barcelona, and that they hold various cultural and ethnic similarities to their Spanish counterparts, their experiences upon arrival present a particularly interesting topic of inquiry.
