http://countrystudies.us/spain/71.htm

Extractions: Government Spain Table of Contents SPAIN'S TRANSFORMATION from a rigid, authoritarian, highly centralized regime into a pluralistic, liberal parliamentary democracy with considerable regional autonomy stands as one of the more remarkable political developments of the twentieth century. That this was accomplished without civil war or revolutionary upheaval and in the midst of unfavorable economic circumstances is all the more extraordinary. Despite decades of living under a repressive dictatorship, most Spanish citizens adapted readily to the new democratic system, and they turned out in large numbers for referenda and elections. The institutions established under the new democratic regime were based on the principles of modernization and decentralization. The 1978 Constitution, which enjoyed massive popular support, established Spain as a democratic state ruled by law. Spain's form of government is that of a parliamentary monarchy, with political power centered in the bicameral Cortes (Spanish Parliament). One of the most striking features of Spain's new governmental system is the devolution of power and responsibility to the regions. Regional differences had been the source of longstanding tensions between the center and the periphery in Spain. The 1978 Constitution addresses these conflicts by providing for an unprecedented degree of regional autonomy, although not all Spaniards have been satisfied with the pace of the devolution process. At the same time, the relationships between the more powerful autonomous regions and the central government remain complicated by the deliberately ambiguous terms of the Constitution.

http://www.geographyiq.com/countries/sp/Spain_government_summary.htm

Extractions: Parliamentary democracy was restored following the death of General Franco in 1975, who had ruled since the end of the civil war in 1939. The 1978 constitution established Spain as a parliamentary monarchy, with the prime minister responsible to the bicameral Cortes (Congress of Deputies and Senate) elected every 4 years. On February 23, 1981, rebel elements among the security forces seized the Cortes and tried to impose a military-backed government. However, the great majority of the military forces remained loyal to King Juan Carlos, who used his personal authority to put down the bloodless coup attempt. In October 1982, the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE), led by Felipe Gonzalez, swept both the Congress of Deputies and Senate, winning an absolute majority. Gonzalez and the PSOE ruled for the next 13 years. During that period, Spain joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Community. In March 1996, Jose Maria Aznar's Popular Party (PP) won a plurality of votes. Aznar moved to decentralize powers to the regions and liberalize the economy, with a program of privatization, labor market reform, and measures designed to increase competition in selected markets. During Aznar's first term, Spain fully integrated into European institutions, qualifying for the European Monetary Union. During this period, Spain participated, along with the United States and other NATO allies, in military operations in the former Yugoslavia. President Aznar and the PP won reelection in March 2000, obtaining absolute majorities in both houses of parliament.
The Scientist :: Spain's Government Disappoints, Oct. 19, 2004

Extractions: Please login or register DAILY E-MAIL RSS HANDHELD CURRENT ISSUE DAILY NEWS UPFRONT FEATURE ... ARCHIVES Oct. 19, 2004 Previous Archive Next DAILY NEWS By Xavier Bosch A group of 22 leading Spanish scientists published a manifesto late last week (October 14) expressing concern that the new Spanish government was not living up to promises The bulk of the budget will go to scientific and technological parks and military research, the minister said. Up to 27% of the overall research budget will in fact go to military programs, more than three times higher than that for basic research. These disappointments have overshadowed some good news for researchers, including an announcement that funds for postgraduate grants will increase by 15% in 2005, and promises from the government that it will reform the university system to ensure that professors are appointed after undergoing an initial accreditation procedure and a selection process. In their manifesto, the scientists say that the prime minister's promises had generated "enormous hope" but that researchers are now "enormously worried" after knowing the figures. They propose that in the parliamentary discussion of the budgets, modifications are made so that a significant part of the promised 25% arrives at "researchers and centers committed with quality research."

Extractions: home 1901-World War II previous next A Divided Spain to 1934 Spain entered the depression full of bitter divisions. There was an independence movement in Catalonia and another independence movement among the Basques. Working people were split between syndicalists and socialists, with many of the syndicalists being laborers on large estates - syndicalists believing in direct action rather than voting for representation in a parliament, and aiming at a federation of "sydicats" rather than centralized government. There were also divisions between those who believed in religion being separate from the state and those who defended the Church, and there were anarchists who saw the Church as the leading exploiter of the poor. In power in Spain was a dictator - Miguel Primo de Rivera. Spain's king, Alphonso XIII, supported the dictatorship. And many were opposed to the dictatorship and wanted to replace the king with a republic. With the depression, unrest intensified. Students protested. The army announced that it no longer supported Primo de Rivera, who was sixty but in poor health. Primo de Rivera fled the country and died in Paris in March 1930. A provisional government was established and elections were scheduled for the creation of parliamentary rule, while strikes appeared across Spain and the economy continued to decline.

Extractions: Articles and talks Electronic democracy - connecting with government...and each other Louise Ferguson, October 1999 [The following piece appeared following the autonomous government elections in Spain in 1999. Autonomous or regional government has a much higher profile and much greater powers in Spain than in the UK.] What happens now the elections are over? Should politicians just be allowed to go away and do what they please for the next four years? Or shold they be accountable throughout their term of office? Citizens involved in the electronic democracy movement around the world would definitely vote yes for permanent transparency and accountability. The Internet is an ideal vehicle for enabling transparency in government. Parliamentary bills and proposed regulations can easily be made available on-line, and citizens can rapidly fire off opinions and complaints to their parliamentary and other democratic representatives. Grass-roots campaigns can be launched and spread, the opinions of others sought. This is the idea underpinning the electronic democracy movement, which in its Catalonian version goes under the name of Democracia Web. This fairly basic website aims to provide information and promote debate, increasing itizens' participation in the democratic process. Behind the project are the Jaume Bofill Foundation and Catalonia's Universitat Obert [open university].

Weeks before the tourist season starts, swimming pools are empty, city fountains are turned off and golf courses have been ordered to reduce watering. Some reservoirs in the south-east are more than three-quarters empty. With no fresh rain expected in the affected areas until the autumn, authorities have decided they must protect domestic supplies through the busy summer season.

http://www.country-data.com/cgi-bin/query/r-13001.html

Extractions: Country Listing Spain Table of Contents Following the reform of the government's social services in 1978, all social security benefits were under the supervision of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. In addition, the Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs was responsible for public health and health education programs. In the government's 1988 budget, these programs were allocated about US$22.5 billion, a 9 percent increase over 1987 and about 23.3 percent of the total budget. Unemployment insurance has been available in Spain since 1919, but the state has provided benefits to those out of work only since 1961. Insured workers contributed between 1.1 and 6.3 percent of covered earnings according to 12 occupational classes, while employers contributed between 5.2 and 6.3 percent of payroll, and the state added a variable subsidy. Benefits covered the insured for up to twenty-four months under normal circumstances, and they could range between 60 and 80 percent of covered earnings. Only about 60 percent of the registered unemployed received benefits, however, because the law excluded short-term and casual employees as well as those seeking their first jobs and because agricultural workers were covered under a special program. During the 1980s, the state's share of funding for social security programs expanded rapidly, while the proportion contributed by employers and employees declined correspondingly. In the 1970s, the state was contributing only 5 percent; however, by the 1980s the figure had risen to more than 20 percent, still quite low by West European standards. Many employers complained because of the relatively high proportion (85 percent) that they had to contribute to the non-state portion of social security funding; some even falsified records or refused to make the payments, leaving their employees without benefits. Slightly less than two-thirds of social security expenditures were paid out in cash benefits, principally in the form of pensions to the aged, widows, orphans, and the disabled. The remaining third was spent on health, on social services, and, in small part, on administration.
