Abstract
In contemporary multinational states, the dominant constitutional and political view in substate national societies1 (such as Scotland, Quebec, the Basque Country, Catalonia, Northern Ireland, and South Tyrol) challenges contemporary assumptions about the nation-state, namely, the “monistic demos” thesis. The traditional assumptions of contemporary republican theory are disputed in these substate national societies: the notion of a “monistic conception of the nation as the embodiment of a unified demos” is rejected (Tierney 2007: 232; Walker 2008: 521).
