Summary / Abstract (Note)Are cities significant fulcrums through which new relations between historic substate nationalism and contemporary European governance are being forged? Using case studies of Basque cities (Spain) and Sarajevo (Bosnia), the study explores the link between Europeanization and identity-based substate nationalism, with special focus on how city interests affect that relationship.

In Sarajevo, European governance is managing the city and substate region in order to overcome war-hardened group identities. Whether active agents or regulated entities, cities are key axes in redefining relations between substate nationalism and the new Europe
