Abstract

The political and spatial reorganization brought about by the progressive consolidation of the Spanish Estado de las Autonomias (State of Autonomies) is in line with a model of ‘multiple ethnoterritorial concurrence’. This model relates socio‐political sub‐state ethnic mobilization to the competitive interplay among Spanish regions and nationalities pursuing political and economic power, as well as the achievement of the legitimation for their institutional development. Ten ‘axioms’, ‘premises’, ‘principles’, and ‘rules’ are identified as being mainly responsible for setting the conceptual boundaries of the type of plural competition and solidarity put into play in today's decentralized Spain.
