| Summary/Abstract |
Immigration from the different regions in Spain to the Basque Country has traditionally opposed Basque and Spanish nationalism. This article provides an overview of the discourse of both nationalist traditions with respect to the intra-regional migration movement of the second half of the twentieth century as well as of the resulting controversy. Whereas the Basque nationalist movement claims to have defended the need to integrate immigrants since the middle of the twentieth century, particularly through politics, Spanish nationalism claims that Basque nationalism has helped marginalise these same immigrants. A qualitative analysis is used to contrast this controversy by consulting the opinion of the Spanish immigrants who settled in the Basque Country and did not avail of the political integration proposed by Basque nationalism. The main conclusion is that these immigrants tend to avoid the heart of the matter of discord between both nationalist traditions, granting little importance to political and cultural elements though stressing their social integration in the Basque Country.

| Summary/Abstract |
In this article the different territorial imaginations of Basqueness in Basque nationalist rhetoric and political practice are described. The seeming consensus on a greater Basque Country or Euskal Herria encompassing two administrative regions in Spain and three former provinces in France has become the hegemonic narrative at a rhetorical level. Euskal Herria as the imagined nation-state is the dominant myth compared to territorial allusions concerning the medieval Kingdom of Navarre. In contrast to the nationalist rhetoric, political practice of Basque nationalists varies according to the sub-state arenas in which they are active. Three concurrent practical goals of nationalists are discussed, namely the co-sovereignty claim for Euskadi, the demand for a separate Basque department within France and the establishment of an independent Basque state. The article addresses the following questions. Why Euskal Herria has become the winning myth to the detriment of territorial imaginations based on the mediaeval Kingdom of Navarre? Why does the political practice of Basque nationalism vary so strong according to its politico-institutional context? To what extent the geopolitical imaginations have become rooted in daily life experiences in the envisaged Basque homeland?

| Summary/Abstract |
All nationalist movements make use of a variety of aspects (language, history, race, etc.) of the territory claimed as a nation to build their discourse on said nation, and, though these discourses are often presented as something permanent and unchanging over time, they can change depending on the historical context. This is indicated by the Basque nationalist movement's two main discourses on the nation, as well as by what appears to be a tendency towards a new discourse currently being developed within this movement. The new discourse seems to have adopted the concept of democracy as a key element in its theorization.
