Constitutional patriotism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Constitutional patriotism is a concept associated with the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas. It is a key part of theories of post-nationalism, and has been influential in the development of the European Union.[1] According to the principle of constitutional patriotism, citizenship should rely on a shared sense of values rather than a common history or ethnic origin.
In Spain, the utilization of this concept for both left and right parties, have become an argument for the Spanish unitarian identity in front of peripheral nationalisms.[2]
