It investigates the presence ofthis type of nationalism in contemporary Spain, pointing out thenovelty of the explicit linkage of patriotism and a reformistagenda by leftist parties. It also argues that social patriotism hasthe leverage for creating transversal identities within amultinational democracy such as Spain.
