The role of Government in the Spanish Constitution, 40 years later

Abstract

Abstract:
The Spanish constitutional model express a commitment to gobernability that is born from the historical context of «rationalized parlamentarism» and is based on an electoral system established since 1977. However, both the organic configuration of the executive and the implementation of the function of governing have had a rather limited development in practice, while some central tasks such as strategic orientation, public policy programing and overall system coordination, have been reduced to pure inertia.
