Summary/Abstract: The Jacobean concept of état-nation is an important element of the republican model of theFrench state. Constitutional guarantee of the integrity of the Republic (with a simultaneous occurrenceof a significant number of minorities) is confronted with the idea of regionalism anda need to recognize regional identities. Corsica comprises a unique example. The region enjoysa special status, which, however, does not limit the aspirations of the Corsican terrorist separatistmovements trying to win further concessions from the Center for the peripheral region. It seemsthat further concessions have weakened the situation in the country in the eyes of other regionswhich demand respect for their rights as well; nonetheless, they strive for that in completely differentways than the nationalist movements in Corsica.
