The crisis of October 2017, following the referendum (which was not authorised by the State) on the independence of Catalonia on 1 October and the repression by the State to prevent it, marked the climax of an institutional crisis that has been running since the outbreak of the Catalan independence movement in September 2012. In turn, it was the culminating, although contradictory, moment of a regime crisis that started with the outbreak of the 15M movement, the indignado rebellion, in 2011. In this article I will analyse the historical roots of the 2017 crisis and the political and institutional consequences that the events of October 2017 have had. My objective is to analyse the current regime crisis in the Spanish state from the point of view of the role played by the Catalan national question. I am not going to analyse the overall regime crisis or the independence movement, but specifically how the latter has been related with the former. To do so, I will provide a general overview of the genesis of the so-called Regime of 1978 from the point of view of the national question and of Spain’s failed nation-building process.

The neo-conservative movement in the United States has strong intellectual origins. Many of its founding members were radicals – heavily influenced by Leon Trotsky – who eventually became disillusioned with the New Left and the Counterculture movement (Stintson 2010). Thus, a growing number of college professors and other scholars eventually gathered into a group that began in the 1970s to lobby Republican governments. Neoconservatives shifted to the right, but they never moved away from Trotsky’s internationalism. Thus, they began to embrace a neocolonial perspective in their intellectual struggle against Soviet Communism. They enthusiastically supported American military interventions abroad. Their influence grew significantly under Ronald Reagan. One of the younger members of the neoconservative movement, Dinesh D’Souza, was fascinated by Reagan’s political style. D’Souza would go on to develop an academic career, and in his writings andmedia appearances, has consistently praised Reagan’s legacy (D’Souza 1999). Neoconservatives, in turn, also began to mold their movement with many of Reagan’s principles, most notably unregulated capitalism. By the 2000s, the neoconservatives in American policy were hegemonic in the White House, and George W. Bush’s administration employed many of its representatives as advisors and executives. It is fairly certain that the neoconservatives’ intellectual influence was a significant driving force in the American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq (Vaisse 2010). The Republican candidate John McCain lost the election in 2008, and neoconservatives naturally did not have the same influence as Socialism and Democracy, 2020 Vol. 34, Nos. 2–3, 61–83, https://doi.org/10.1080/08854300.2020.1828700
美国的新保守主义运动有很强的思想根源。它的许多创始成员都是激进分子——深受莱昂·托洛茨基的影响——他们最终对新左派和反文化运动感到幻灭(斯廷森，2010)。因此，从20世纪70年代开始，越来越多的大学教授和其他学者最终聚集成一个游说共和党政府的团体。新保守主义者转向右翼，但他们从未离开托洛茨基的国际主义。因此，他们开始在反对苏联共产主义的思想斗争中接受新殖民主义的观点。他们热情地支持美国的海外军事干预。在罗纳德·里根的领导下，他们的影响力显著增强。新保守主义运动的年轻成员迪内什·德索萨(Dinesh D 'Souza)被里根的政治风格所吸引。D 'Souza将继续发展自己的学术生涯，在他的著作和媒体露面中，他一直赞扬里根的遗产(D 'Souza 1999)。反过来，新保守主义者也开始用里根的许多原则来塑造他们的运动，最明显的是不受管制的资本主义。到21世纪初，美国政策中的新保守主义者在白宫占据了主导地位，乔治·w·布什(George W. Bush)政府聘用了许多新保守主义者的代表担任顾问和高管。相当肯定的是，新保守主义者的思想影响是美国入侵阿富汗和伊拉克的重要推动力(Vaisse 2010)。共和党候选人约翰·麦凯恩在2008年的选举中失败，新保守主义者自然没有社会主义与民主那样的影响力，2020年第34卷，第2-3期，61-83期，https://doi.org/10.1080/08854300.2020.1828700

Marx’s Capital After 150 Years: Critique and Alternative to Capitalism contains the proceedings of an international conference held at York University in 2017. It is the latest addition to the series of compilations that encompass the theoretical and political nature, stakes and implications of Karl Marx’s major work. With 17 contributors of diverse political affiliations, theoretical standpoints, and immediate concerns within the contested terrain of Marxism andMarxian scholarship, the relatively peaceful coexistence of these interventions, at the very least, confirms that the breakthroughs realized in the last few decades in the study of Capital proved to be lasting. In other words, we now have a qualitatively new, shared understanding regarding Capital that both distances it from the presuppositions of classical political economy and opposes the interpretative (and editorial) ambitions to present its theorems and conclusions as closed totalities. Cautiously discerning the multiplicity of layers of Capital, an on-going task that is irreducible to the standard notion of interdisciplinary compartmentalization and dialogue, shall serve to mobilize it as an indispensable tool for any kind of initiative to critically recast the social sciences.
