Evaluating Spanish decentralization and its impact on achieving the country’s unity and social integration

Decentralization is an important experience for all countries, regardless of their levels of development, because it is based on interconnected and coordinated steps to reach solutions that contribute to the development of this experience. This, in turn, requires the existence of a political system and effective and influential institutions. The decentralized system in Spain is one of the successful systems whose experience is of great importance as a model of a unified state in which independent groups have risen to exercise special powers and authorities. This is what made decentralization in Spain a means of modernizing and stabilizing the state without fragmenting its sovereignty, and thus preserving the cohesion and unity of the state and society.
