“…A fourth member had died in 2008 and the Spanish Parliament had not appointed any successor. Meanwhile, a fifth member, judge Pablo Pérez Tremps, was disqualified from voting (Delledonne, , p. 5). Regarding the second point, commentators have noted that the Partido Popular not only voted against the new Statute but was also the one to challenge it on constitutional grounds via its appeal to the Constitutional Court.…”

Occasionally, regions make front‐page news. From Wallonia holding‐up the EU–Canada trade deal, to Catalonia and Scotland seeking independence. However, beyond these attention‐grabbing events, more fundamental transformations have taken place, away from the media spotlight and sometimes also under the (theoretical and empirical) radar of scholarly work. This article highlights that the more gripping events making the headlines are only the tip of the iceberg. They belie a rather peaceful and calm process of regionalization of our political systems. Functional, community, and identity logics have driven this process. It has significantly affected all dimensions of the policy‐politics‐polity triptych. We encourage scholars to break free from the shackles of methodological nationalism. Engaging in multi‐level analysis is cognitively taxing. However, it is well worth the investment. The state is not independent from developments at the sub‐ and supra‐state levels. Modelling interdependence is challenging, but it is empirically and theoretically rewarding.

Which is the meaning of constitutional review for a proper assessment of subnational constitutionalism? The essay tries to answer this question by means of comparative analysis. To do so, it considers both federal systems (the United States and Germany) and regional or autonomic systems (Italy and Spain). The analysis of organs and procedures allows to draw some conclusions: the presence of a system of constitutional review at the subnational level is a crucial element for the development of an autonomous, well-grown subnational constitutional law. However, subnational constitutional courts tend to have a more complicated relation with legislative and executive bodies, as less guarantees of independence or court-overturning amendments show. Finally, subnational constitutional courts tend to develop a quite interesting case law, whose experimental features sometimes anticipate major judicial trends
