    La globalització i els sistemes federals
    in Revista d'Estudis Autonomics i Federals , n. 1 ,  2006 ,  37 - 60
    This article is a revised analysis of the work by Lazar, Telford and Watts (2003) The Impact of Global and Regional Integration on Federal Systems. A Comparative Analysis, Harvey Lazar, Hamish Telford and Ronald L. Watts (eds.): The Impact of Global and Regional Integration on Federal Systems. A Comparative Analysis, Montreal and Kingston: McGill- Queen’s University Press, 2003. The article’s starting point is the book’s mainthesis, that is, an analysis of the consequences that such different integration processes can have both on the institutional structures and on the collective identities of federal systems; in this sense and in the light of these changing pressures on the nature of federalism, the article raises a question: to what extent federalism and federal arrangements would remain a reference for carrying out institutional reforms as well as for a politically and socially practicable system.
