Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Scotland and Catalonia, despite widely varying histories, social and economic structures, and political environments, have both taken similar routes in the last thirty years to arrive at very similar places: devolved parliaments with limited tax powers and wide competencies in public administration. This paper analyzes their convergence by looking at the organization and use of power resources within the region, examining the tensions and coalitions between organizations with different levels of territorial dependence (above all those dependent on the region) and different degrees of dependence on collective action. It argues that arriving and stopping at autonomy-starting and braking the process of regionalization at a particular point-can best be explained by the presence and political activity of webs of regional institutionalized organizations that direct resources to parties and politicians who will support their autonomy and environmental stability.
