Jura Separatism in Switzerland

By John R.G. Jenkins

This case study of nationalism in the Jura region of Switzerland raises issues specific to the area as well as broader geographic and political questions. The author examines nationalist feeling and activity throughout the region in the context of the environmental, religious, and socio-economic background. Special emphasis is given to analyzing 20th-century developments and ways in which separatist tendencies--which are an issue in other societies such as Northern Ireland and Quebec--can be resolved through consensual methods.
