Based on the assumption that there is a qualitative difference between regional and minority national identities, the paper develops as a binary comparative study on the immigrant integration policies of a standard region (Andalusia) and a minority nation (Catalonia). The analysis shows that the major differences between their immigrant integration policies concern the discourse rather than the content. In addition, the paper takes Billig’s notion of ‘banal nationalism’ and questions the idea that Andalusian policies are less assimilationist than Catalan policies.application/pdfengThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International LicenseSub-state identityIntegration policyImmigrationAndalusiaCataloniainfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
