Jaime Lluch was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and has spent many years studying and working in the continental USA.

He received his B.A. from Brown University (Phi Beta Kappa), and earned his Juris Doctor from Yale Law School, and then spent several years working as an environmental law attorney, etc.

He earned his Ph.D. in Political Science at Yale University, awarded in May of 2007. His thesis was entitled “Shades of Stateless Nationhood: Explaining Internal Variation in the Political Orientation of the National Movements of Quebec and Catalonia (1976-2005).” He examined the trifurcation in these national movements between the independentist, autonomist, and federalist wings of the movement. He developed an analysis of the political origins of the variation in nationalists’ political orientation, and of the fundamental political dilemma confronting stateless nationalists: whether to be in favor of independence, autonomy, or federalism.

He is a comparativist who works on the politics of stateless nationalities and of multinational democracies. His current areas of interest are nationalism, nationalist and ethnic conflict, ethnicity/race and multiculturalism, and national self-determination. He is also interested in comparative federalism and comparative constitutionalism, and imperialism and nation-state formation processes.

In May of 2007 he was awarded a National Science Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellowship for the 2007-2009 period. During the first year of his post-doc (2007-2008), he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Political and Social Sciences Department at the EUI.
