Resumen o Introducción
This essay explores the chances which the creation of a new state can offer in terms of increasing its sustainability. As an example, it takes a look at the Catalan independence process.
While the emergence of new states often is met with some amount of scepticism, especially by neighbouring states already in existence - be it for fear of armed conflicts, regional instability or surging nationalisms or simply out of complacency, a „let‘s just leave it as it is“- mentality - there is no denying that a new state can offer many possibilities for sustainable development. Especially if the process leading to the formation of the new state fullfills certain predicaments such as the political activation of a large part of the population, a high level of education, a general interest in sustainability issues, an involvement not only of political but also of civil society movements in its creation, the political will of those in charge of the process to achieve ambitous sustainability goals and the political „guts“ to start again more or less from scratch.
