“…Algunas autoras afirman que la conocida como Ley de Territorios Históricos (LTH) cumple las funciones de constitución interna de la CAE, porque distribuye funciones y competencias del sector público entre diferentes niveles de gobierno (Gallastegui y Gallastegui, 1986;Goikoetxea, 2012). Novo (2010), sin descartar del todo esta idea, destaca también la 'modificabilidad' de la LTH por cualquier norma posterior de igual rango, puesto que el Parlamento Vasco no tiene capacidad de aprobar leyes orgánicas, que necesitan de mayorías cualificadas.…”

Gizarte Zerbitzuen Euskal Sistema sistema gazte eta banatu bezala ikusten da askotan. Errealitate honen argitan, zeintzuk dira sistemaren gobernantza baldintzatzen duten elementuak? Nola eratu dira eta zein da sistemaren eraikuntzan izan duten eragina? Galdera hauetatik abiatuz artikulu honek elementu nagusienak bildu eta hauetatik abiatuz errelato bat osatzen du, horretarako egindako ikerketa doktoral baten analisi kualitatiboaren zati bat erabiliaz. Gako-hitzak:Gizarte-zerbitzuak, gobernantza, foralitatea, finantziazioa, herritartasuna. El Sistema Vasco de Servicios Sociales se presenta, en multitud de ocasiones, como un sistema joven y fragmentado. A la luz de esta realidad, ¿cuáles son los elementos que determinan su gobernanza?, ¿cómo se han configurado y cuál es su influencia en la construcción del sistema? El presente artículo analiza los elementos principales para entender la gobernanza del Sistema Vasco de Servicios Sociales y configura un relato partiendo de un resumen del análisis cualitativo de una investigación doctoral realizada a tal efecto.

“…The regional question was, however, far from settled and the centre resisted granting further autonomy to the strong regions (as in the 'coffee for all' decrees of the 1980s and 1990s (Comas, 2003, 49-50). In the Basque Country, the PNVusually the major party in the Autonomous Community (AC) government -enacted policies that ensured both greater economic development and greater social equality than in the rest of Spain (Goikoetxea, 2013). They were too weak in the central parliament to leverage concessions on further autonomy (Idoiaga, 2006;Comas, 2003) and even moderates remained unhappy with the autonomy achieved.…”

This is a long version of a paper to be published in a volume edited by L. Bosi. A shorter version will be presented at the conference. 2 We use the term 'ethnic conflict' in a broad sense to mean any intra-state conflict with a social basis in a culturally-differentiated population 3 The Republic of Macedonia is a recently formed independent state with a population of about 2 million. The autonomous community of the Basque County is a self-governing region within Spain, with a population of 2.2 million.

“…Underneath this confrontation between Basque and Spanish nationalists there lies a divergent development of the democratic system. The medium-and long-term consequences of having a consensual and federal Basque polity located within a Spanish unitary and majoritarian democracy (Conversi 2012b;Elazar 1987;Lijphart 1999) require nevertheless more analysis than can be given here (for the analysis of some of these consequences see Goikoetxea 2013).…”

“…To describe fully how the reproduction of differentiated objectified structures fosters political distinction (or contemporary national identity) would go beyond the scope of this article. It is only the objectified-material reproduction of the Basque demos in its socioeconomic dimension that will be analyzed here, since this process has been one of the main driving forces in reproducing the Basque political community since democracy was established in 1980 (for the reproduction of the social, discursive and cultural dimensions see Bray 2011;Goikoetxea 2010Goikoetxea ,2013Zabalo 1998Zabalo ,2009Zubiaga 2012).…”

“…The main purpose of this article is to show what the material preconditions are for a Basque democratization process in contemporary Europe; and the reason for not giving pre-eminence to the cultural over the socio-economic in the reproduction of political distinctions is justified on the assumption that nation-building in twenty-first century European democracies is carried out through demos-building processes and conversely (Goikoetxea 2013;Hage 1996;McGrattan 2012) both practices are currently embedded, in every detail, in the same socio-political processes and structures and are justified through identical economic and political discourses and strategies (Goikoetxea 2010). The Basque case is another example, along with Quebec, Scotland and Catalonia, of how the reproduction of the "demos" has implied the reproduction of a "democratic nation" and vice versa (Canovan 1996;Keating 2012;Nootens and Lecours 2009).…”

The article analyzes the material or objectified reproduction of the Basque demos since democracy was established in Spain in 1980. Spain holds within its territory diverse regions and political communities and the Basque case is a highly illustrative example of how the development of regional state institutions is fundamental for the reproduction of distinct democratic demoi not merely in their political but also socio-economic dimension. This paper argues that, in our current European context, political distinctions cannot become effectively objectified and instituted power structures without state institutions being able to uphold a differentiated system of stratification.
