They reflects the vitality of self-government studies, covering a variety of topics such as regionalist movements, constitutional amendment mechanisms, State national conceptions embedded in Constitutions, the controversial role of institutional symbols or territorial and urban planning on climate change. In the first place, Brunetta Baldi’s work offers an analytical framework for institutional regionalism in the Italian case. Considered as a broad category where different arrangements can be found, the author explores how Italian regionalism has leaned towards an autonomist logic emphasising asymmetry, rather than a classical federal approach. Regional diversity recognition is then the underpinning pillar of a bilateral relation with the state, as opposed to an overall federalisation following a homogeneous and top-down pattern. This tendency raises a number of interesting elements to be taken into con- sideration when analysing the future trends of Italy’s decentralisation model. Diego González Cadenas and Roberto Viciano’s article deals with citizen participatory mechanisms in the constitutional reform of the federated States in the US. Although the American constitutional system is a paradigmat-

  • Inside Spain Nr 168 20 December 2019 - 20 January 2020
    Inside Spain Nr 168 20 December 2019 - 20 January 2020 William Chislett Summary Bolivia expels two Spanish diplomats. Coalition government finally and narrowly formed in face of virulent opposition. Supreme Court calls for EU Parliament to withdraw immunity of Catalan separatist MEPs. Population tops 47 million due to immigrants. Spain surges up the Global Gender Gap Index. Government seeks less demanding fiscal deficit with Brussels. Foreign Policy Bolivia expels two Spanish diplomats Bolivia expelled two diplomats who met associates of Bolivia’s former President Evo Morales in the residence of the Mexican Ambassador in La Paz. Spain reciprocated the move. Cristina Borreguero, the Chargé d’Affaires, and Álvaro Fernández, the Consul, paid what was termed a courtesy visit to the Mexican Embassy, but the Bolivian government said there was an ulterior ‘hostile’ motive. The Mexican Ambassador was also expelled. Mexico gave Morales asylum after he fled Bolivia following his disputed re-election. He has since moved to Argentina. Among the nine people who have sought refuge in the Mexican Embassy in La Paz is former Interior Minister Juan Ramón Quintana, who is accused of sedition and terrorism. Spain’s Foreign Ministry denied there was ‘any aim to facilitate the exit of people holed up inside the building’. Domestic scene Coalition government finally and narrowly formed in face of virulent opposition Pedro Sánchez, the Socialist caretaker Prime Minister, ended eight months of political deadlock, following two inconclusive elections, when he managed to form by a hair’s breadth the first coalition government since the Second Republic in the 1930s with the radical-left Unidas Podemos (UP).
