Abstract

Devolution of power from central to regional government after the ratification of the Constitution is one of the most important factors of Spanish success. The shape of this Iberian country is determined by actions heading towards prevention of the country’s disintegration into different political structures. This course of action was successful and it allowed Spain to connect democratic develop¬ments with devolution of responsibilities and fiscal measures. Spanish decentralization process increased the acquisition of governing skills, helped to improve methods of spending EU funds and in¬creased dynamics of economic development.
