Abstract

Španjolska demokracija nakon Francove smrti uspostavljena je na temelju konsenzusa, no u nju su uvršteni određeni većinski elementi kako bi se osigurala stabilnost političkog sustava. Cilj rada jest prikazati kako ti većinski elementi utječu na zahtjeve Katalonije i Baskije za nezavisnošću. Prikazom povijesnog konteksta s posebnim naglaskom na fazu demokratske tranzicije želi se dati uvid u pozadinu odnosa između španjolske središnje vlade i dviju spomenutih regija. Španjolska se ne može definirati ni kao većinska, ni kao konsenzusna, ni kao konsocijacijska demokracija jer ima elemente svakog navedenog tipa. Neusmjeravanje političkog sustava prema, primjerice, konsenzusnoj ili konsocijacijskoj demokraciji te nerazumijevanje između Madrida i baskijske i katalonske strane doveli su do statusa quo koji ne zadovoljava ni španjolsku središnju vladu, ali ni autonomne zajednice.

Abstract (english)

Spanish democracy after the death of Franco was established on the basis of consensus, but some of the majority elements were included to ensure the stability of the political system. The aim of this paper is to show how these majority elements influence Catalan and Basque independence requirements. The reason for showing a historical context with special emphasis on the period of democratic transition is to give a background look on the relationship between the Spanish central government and Catalonia and the Basque County. Spain can not be defined as a majoritarian democracy, neither as a consensus, nor as a consociational democracy, because it has elements of each type. Not directing the political system, for example, to a consensus or consociational democracy, and the lack of understanding between Madrid and the Basque County and Catalonia have led to a status quo which is not satisfying neither for the Spanish central government, nor the autonomous communities.
