The term 'post–nationalism' has been proposed to designate the emergence of political bodies in the wake of economic globalisation. However, not only is the 'post–national landscape' strongly redolent of nationalism, but nations themselves continue to correlate with the political subject in ways that cannot be dismissed. In Spanish political debates the notion of 'post–nationalism' has been deployed along with the concept of 'patriotism of the constitution', vulgarising their original philosophical use. In this context both terms do ideological duty against the peripheral nationalities in an effort to relegitimise the centralised control of the state. In this article I 'deconstruct' the self–serving duality between 'constitutionalists' and 'nationalists' by showing that traditional state nationalism overlaps with the 'constitutionalist' position. Subsequently, I consider whether some form of Habermasian detachment of nation from state can be contemplated for Spain.
