Abstract

Abstract:
Forty years after the adoption of the Constitution, the reform of territorial organization is one of the most inescapable, and in that reform, the implementation and development of the principle of cooperation should occupy
a central place. In the context of this reform, the constitutionalisation of the Conferences of Presidents as the integrating institution with functions of cooperation at the highest level, would have a political and symbolic value of the first order. From this perspective, this article examines the creation, evolution and legal design of the institution, and analyzes the main problems related to its composition and functions, such as the obligation to attend and the way of adopting agreements.
