Abstract

Despite the European integration process having a history of over 70 years, we still see separatist issues such as Catalonia’s bid for independence as EU member states strive for a united Europe. Only by examining these phenomena comprehensively and deeply from the perspective of relevant countries’ geopolitics through the lens of history can we understand the overall trend of European integration. From a historical standpoint, by examining the relationship between France and Spain and using the Catalan issue as an entry point, we can distinguish local separatism within the European integration process from nationalism at the national level. In doing so, we can recognize these issues as a form of internal interest politics and understand that they will not fundamentally undermine the overall direction of European integration.
