    Las relaciones de inordinación en el Estado autonómico español.
    in Revista de Estudios Políticos , n. 151 ,  2011 ,  109-152
    This article takes the point of view of the irrelevance of the debate about whether or not Spain is a federal state. Spain is a regional State with peculiar characteristics, but share many traits with the federal states and one of them is to establish the participation of the Autonomous Communities within the central organs of the State. In this sense, the article analyses the participation of the Autonomous Communities in the Senate, the regional legislative initiative before the Cortes Generales and the proposal of the Parliaments of the Autonomous Communities in the Senate election of the judges of the Constitutional Court (unconstitutional for the author, although accepted by the Constitutional Court). It also criticizes of the regional Councils of the Judiciary, not constitutionally provided but established in some Statutes of autonomy.
