El catalanisme del Postfranquisme als nostres dies (1976-2003).Una història comparada del nacionalisme polític català: Els casos de CiU i d´ERC.

The principal objective of my doctoral thesis is the evolution of catalanism through the principals Catalan political parties (PSC, PSUC, ERC, CDC, UDC, AP, CC, UCD) and through the civil society, from post-Franco stage (1976), to the final of the Pujolisme stage (2003). Ultimately, reflect as during Transition the principal Catalan political parties defended the Catalonia´s political reconstruction from national axis, I mean, defending the Catalonia´s self-government, and from 1980 they developed to left- right axis. Only CiU and ERC continued to defend national reconstruction policies in their electoral program as main objective. The rest of the Catalan political parties prioritized socials policies although continued to defend the Catalonia´s self-government, each from their ideological convictions: federalists, confederalists, etc. The doctoral thesis to reflect also the parallel evolution between CiU and ERC through a comparative analysis of their national projects observing points of divergence and convergence. This analysis finish in 2003 when CiU lost The Government of Catalonia after twenty-three years, and ERC, after getting a big rise from 1996, get come to Catalonia´s Government through the Tripartit. Finally, this thesis to reflect also the beginning of the internal evolution from CDC to right to decide. This evolution hasn´t happened, unlike as some think, from the constitutional judgment in july 2010 about Estatut de Catalunya, but it´s an idea that the current President of Catalonia Artur Mas began to defend first publicly the January 20th 2002 when he was introduced as an official candidate for the regional elections 2003, pushed by a new context did he change the way he thinks Catalonia and overcome autonomy defended until then by the ex-president of Catalonia Jordi Pujol. Furthermore, it should be emphasized the evolution of a new generation inside of CDC from the JNC as for example Carles Campuzano, Meritxell Borràs, Josep Rull, etc, belonging to the Sinepsi´s group, it´s a post-pujolista group that from 90´s were coming to power and they helped change the course of CDC.
