In 2021, the Basque Country resumed the debate on updating the Statute of Guernica (the Statute of Autonomy of the Basque Country, 1979). These debates are backed by the Parliament of the Basque Country. Some key points of this discussion and current Basque regional initiatives in the European Union attract attention and may indicate the development of nationalism in the context of transnational trends and the forming of new regional identity. Methodology of the article is based on the transnationalism theory and the concept of coexistence of postnational and national as simultaneous or competing forms. Transnationalism is not a brand-new idea to Basques: some traces of transnational identity may be found in previous history. In most cases one talks about Basque nationalism (not transnationalism) referring to the period of ETA terrorist group activity which lasted till the beginning of 2010th. Since the end of the terrorist era the need for new terms and definitions for Basques nationalist movement is recognized. Despite the current high level of opponents of independence, the society is still not satisfied with the level of self-government. As a result, the problem of nationalism is greatly modified in Basque society: this is no longer a demand for the creation of an independent state, but a request for a new level of relations between the Basque Country and Spain, the Basque Country and European Union, the Basque Country and other regions; this is the demand for forming and recognition of new European regional identity. The study provides the evidence for defining this new stage in Basque self-determination movement as a nationalist and transnationalist one at the same time. In terms of this definition the concept of “Europe of the regions” is becoming relevant again and the whole situation may provide the basis for nationalist development in other European regions with similar issues.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Исследование посвящено развитию трендов транснационализма и национализма в баскском самоуправлении. В 2021 году Страна Басков возобновила дебаты по обновлению Статута Герники (Статута автономии Страны Басков 1979 года) по инициативе парламента Страны Басков. Некоторые ключевые моменты этой дискуссии и текущие региональные инициативы басков в Европейском Союзе привлекают внимание и могут указывать на развитие национализма в контексте транснациональных тенденций и формирования новой региональной идентичности. Методология основана на теории транснационализма и концепции сосуществования постнационального и национального как одновременных и/или конкурирующих форм. В ходе развития баскского общества акцент делается именно на национализме (особенно в контексте периода деятельности террористической группировки ЭТА), однако и аспекты транснациональной идентичности можно обнаружить в историческом прошлом. С окончанием террористической эры признается необходимость в новых определениях для баскского националистического движения. Несмотря на нынешний высокий уровень противников независимости, баскское общество по-прежнему не удовлетворено уровнем самоуправления. В результате проблема национализма в баскском обществе сильно видоизменяется: это уже не требование создания независимого государства, а запрос на новый уровень отношений между Страной Басков и Испанией, Страной Басков и Европейским Союзом, Страной Басков и другими регионами; требование формирования и признания новой европейской региональной идентичности. Исследование характеризует новый этап баскского самоуправления как националистический и транснационалистический одновременно. С точки зрения этого определения концепция «Европы регионов» снова становится актуальной и может влиять на развитие национализма в других европейских регионах с аналогичными проблемами.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>transnationalism</kwd><kwd>nationalism</kwd><kwd>separatism</kwd><kwd>Basque Country</kwd><kwd>self-government</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>транснационализм</kwd><kwd>национализм</kwd><kwd>сепаратизм</kwd><kwd>Страна Басков</kwd><kwd>самоуправление</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Entrevista a Andoni Ortuzar.
