Sumario: This article proposes a renewed theoretical framework for the study of contemporary nations and nationalism. To that end, we are going to analyse firstly the dominantviews among different schools in political sciences in order to overcome their divisions. Through our preliminary conclusions, we will discuss the consequences of considering the state a social relationship. After that, we are going to define the concept that will guide our research: subaltern statehood. Finally, on a more concrete plane of analysis, we will endeavour to apply it to the Basque case. Our research questions and hypotheses will be the ones that will lead us to our main conclusions. On the one hand, when considering nations with self-government powers, the category that suits best their ontological being is that of subaltern states. On the other hand, our analysis will illustrate that the matter is dominated by issues related to the defence and construction of a democracy rather than by traditional nationalist arguments, so they are as nationalist as they are democratic. Thus, the key when studying contemporary nationalism is not the defence of a millenary and essentialist nation but how and to what extent can subaltern states make their case.
