Publicación Learning to Catch the Wave? Regional Demands for Constitutional Change in Contexts of Asymmetrical Arrangements(Taylor & Francis, 2011-11-23) Hombrado Martos, Angustias MConstitutional reforms affecting the asymmetrical allocation of powers between the constituent units of a federal or quasi-federal state have been generally studied as a bilateral relationship between the federal government and the region(s) asking for special treatment. In contrast, this paper examines the crucial role that non-specially empowered regions can play in these processes by raising anti-asymmetry reactions in the form of ‘catching-up’ and ‘blocking’ demands. A theoretical argument is developed concerning the causal mechanism linking several relevant conditions together (type of asymmetry, the distribution of national identities across regions, relative economic development and party politics) and lying between them and the alternative outcomes.Publicación Responding to the New Europe and the Crisis: The Adaptation of Sub-national Governments' Strategies and its Effects on Inter-governmental Relations in Spain(Taylor & Francis, 2014-06-09) Molina, Ignacio; Colino Camara, César; Hombrado Martos, Angustias MThis article analyses the evolution of the institutional setting that the Spanish multi-level system provides for regional European Union (EU) adaptation, and the effects that recent developments of the EU (the Eastern enlargement, the Treaty reform process and the Euro-zone crisis) have had on the more or less pro-European positions and adaptive strategies of Spanish regions and on inter-governmental arrangements. It thus describes the increasing institutionalization of regional participation and EU policy coordination, both at the domestic and supra-national level, and the evolution of regional strategies, looking at its effects both on the degree of vertical and horizontal coordination, and the actual relative power and discretion of both levels of government. It argues that regional strategies have increasingly become more defensive and less pro-European and that increasing participation in European matters seemed to have favoured multi-lateralism and increased coordination without having produced further centralization until the recent crisis and associated budget consolidation targets induced new coordination requirements and a centralization of power towards the central government and EU authorities. This has, as a side-effect, reinforced some centrifugal tendencies of the system and therefore may affect the operation of IGR.Publicación Spain: Constitutional transition through gradual accommodation of territories(Oxford University Press, 2019-03) Colino Camara, César; Moreno, Luis; Hombrado Martos, Angustias M; Oxford University PressThis chapter examines Spain’s successful constitutional transition through the gradual accommodation of territories. It first explains the context that paved the way for Spain’s peaceful transition to democracy during the period 1975–79, from the Civil War of 1936–39 and the dictatorial rule of General Franco to the mobilization of opposition around left-right cleavages and several territorially based nationalist movements, the moment of constitutional transition between 1977 and 1979, and the approval of a democratic Constitution in December 1978. The chapter then describes the period of constitutional engagement from 1978 to 1983 as well as the outcomes of the 1978 Constitution, particularly with regard to its creation and institutional accommodation of seventeen regions and nationalities or “autonomous communities,” elections and decentralization that sought to address regional demands for more autonomy, and devolution. It concludes with an analysis of lessons that can be drawn from Spain’s transition from authoritarianism to democracy.
