 The Rise of Illiberal Democracy by Fareed Zakaria
As political participation increased in Europe over the nineteenth century, it was accommodated smoothly in countries such as England and Sweden, where medieval assemblies, local governments, and regional councils had remained strong.
It is not a coincidence that in twentieth-century Spain, the beachhead of liberalism lay in Catalonia, for centuries a doggedly independent and autonomous region.

 Amazon.com: Catalonia: Books: Kenneth McRoberts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Catalonia presents an interesting instance of what are termed 'minority nations' or stateless nations'.

 The Fate of the State By Martin van Creveld
Inside their borders, it seems that many states will soon no longer be able to protect the political, military, economic, social, and cultural life of their citizens.
The influence of such figures as Adam Smith and Friedrich List caused one nation after another to dismantle internal and external economic controls and switch to free trade; with the Manchester School firmly in control, during the first half of the century the motto was laissez faire.
Others have given way and decentralized, as Spain did in the case of Catalonia; or else they are even now preparing to share control over some of their provinces with others, as are the British in Northern Ireland.

 Fascism is Leftist
And all that was thoroughly confirmed when the mainstream Leftist parties of the various European countries lined up behind their respective national governments in World War I. So it was nationalism and patriotism rather than class-struggle that would most move the workers.
