New Developments in Spanish Federalism | ||
in Europe en formation (L') , n. 363, 2012/1 , 2012 , 179-188 | ||
The main development affecting Spanish federalism in the last few years consist of the elaboration, approval and review of the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia, a process that has lasted seven years (2003-2010). The new Catalan Autonomy Statute has been a historical test to the structure of the Spanish ‘State of Autonomous Communities’. Another development concerns the constitutional consecration of the principle of budget stability. In both issues, a homogenous view of the Spanish decentralisation model has prevailed. | ||
