In 'Grandes imperios, pequeñas naciones,' Josep Maria Colomer explores the viability of self-government for small communities within the context of markets and public goods provided by large empires such as the United States and the European Union. Colomer argues that traditional states are too small for security and trade, yet too large for effective democratic self-government. He analyzes how the difference between formal independence and autonomy is a matter of degree for European nations like Catalonia and the Basque Country, and how true sovereignty lies in having a place at the table of the European Union. This essay was awarded the 9th Ramon Trias Fargas Foundation Essay Prize.
