Abstract

In this Paper we will consider the challenges facing the Spanish regional state. First, we will analyze the concept and different models of regionalization, and then we will look at the history of the vertical government in Spain. We will analyze the so-called a historical-political model of regionalization, as a specific regionalization model applied in Spain after the 1978 Constitution was adopted. We will focus, first and foremost, on the challenges that the decades stand for this model - such as Catalan and Basque separatism, but also the demand for the federalization of Spain. Finally, we will put forward arguments in which we will try to defend the view that the Spanish model of regionalization is a longlasting and satisfactory solution, whose functioning has shown that it has a future, and recommends it as a mechanism for the democratic overcoming of separatist tendencies in other European countries.
