    La federalización de la españa plural
    in Revista d'Estudis Autonomics i Federals , n.8 ,  2009 ,  119-143
    This paper provides a descriptive and normative analysis of the federalization process in Spain. Initial attention is paid to the considerable weight of history and historical interpretations on the shaping of attitudes, ideas and perceptions concerning the territorial unity and plurality of Spain. The following section analyses the effects of the diversity of the Spanish languages, the identity policies and the dual identities as a cultural and social basis for the federal logic in Spain. Then there is discussion of the options of confederal or federal structuring of the Spanish “State of Autonomies” in the 21st century. The conclusions emphasize the convenience of in-depth examination of de facto federalization, as an evolution arising from the regional logic. The aim would be to continue, in the reality of matters, the path of accommodation and integration of the internal plurality of Spain and consolidation of a shared political project in federal terms.
