| Abstract: | This paper shows how regional policy in Spain has been doubly transformed in the past decade, on the one hand by the economic crisis which has affected the content of regional disparities, and on the other hand by the return to constitutional democracy which has substituted for the centralism of the Franco dictatorship a radical devolution of government to the regions. Many of the uncertainties which have surrounded this process derive from fears that in the Spanish context, where regionalism is strongest in the wealthier regions, devolution will increase disparities and not reduce them. The paper discusses the basis for such fears. |
