CONCLU-SIONES. RESUMEN La finalidad del presente trabajo es revisar críticamente la normatividad, el contenido real y las condiciones de aplicación del principio de autonomía procedimental de los Estados miembros en el ordenamiento jurídico de la Unión Europea. Se sostiene que el llamado «principio de autonomía institucional y procedimental» no es un principio normativo stricto sensu del Derecho de la Unión ni refleja un ámbito competencial propio y reservado de los Estados miembros, como puede ocurrir en algunos Estados compuestos. El trabajo analiza diversos condicionantes de origen jurisprudencial que afectan a la competencia procedimental de los Estados miembros en el ámbito de la ejecución del Derecho de la Unión.

Neither liberal nor communitarian, his original theory combines individual rights with collective rights, territorial autonomy with personal autonomy, classical federalism with establishment of nations as constituent parts of the state. This paper will introduce the reader to Renner?s main concepts. It will start by presenting Renner?s ideas on the nation, the multinational state, the role of the majority principle, and the need for nations? legal recognition by and within the state. Then, Renner?s core notion of national autonomy and its organisation through the personality principle will be discussed. Further, the paper deals with Renner?s concept of the representation of national interests at the federal or supranational levels. Lastly, it sums up the discussion and draws conclusions regarding Renner?s theory of autonomy in ...

To that effect, the article looks at the broader system of the distribution of competences from a legal perspective, an aspect which has been neglected in comparative studies on the nature of Spanish decentralization. The analysis concludes, firstly, that the powers of autonomous communities are not enshrined in the same way as in federal models; secondly, that their Statutes of autonomy are not above the legislation of the central government; and, lastly, that the constitution is not rigid enough to prevent the intrusion from the centre on regional competences.

This paper aims to compare the adjudication of claims of selfdetermination by constitutional or supreme courts. It will look at three judicial pronouncements from three jurisdictions: the Judgment of the nstitutional Court of the Russian Federation concerning the sovereignty of Tatarstan (1992), the Opinion of the Canadian Supreme Court concerning the secession of Quebec (1998), and the Judgment of the Spanish Constitutional Court concerning the declaration of sovereignty of the Parliament of Catalonia (2014). The paper will draw parallels in the way constitutional or supreme courts have tackled the tension between democracy and constitutionalism.

With 16 chapters and an introduction written by contributors from Spain, Germany, Greece, Portugal and the UK, the book approaches three crucial areas of austerity policies: cuts in payment and pensions, labour law reform, and old and new poverty. In each field, the contributors analyse the processes of decisions-making and contestation from three perspectives: institutions, democratic theory and societal responses.

En opinión del autor, la reciente jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia no es en absoluto irrelevante para la cuestión del estatus constitucional de los tribunales constitucionales. Por ello, tomando como punto de partida las sentencias Melloni y Åkerberg Fransson del Tribunal de Justicia reflexiona sobre los ajustes necesarios que, a su juicio, deben introducirse en la función jurisdiccional del Tribunal Constitucional, delimitada originalmente por la Ley Orgánica del Tribunal Constitucional, a la luz de la evolución del Derecho de la Unión y, especialmente, de la entrada en vigor de la Carta de Derechos Fundamentales.

Esta apertura no obedece solo a la amplitud del elenco de criterios, métodos y principios de la interpretación, amplitud que esta obra somete a la debida fundamentación y contraste crítico. También responde a las propias señas de identidad del moderno Estado constitucional democrático: un Estado cooperativo con otros Estados, que está limitado no solo “desde dentro” sino también “desde fuera”. El Estado constitucional se está articulando progresivamente hacia “un razonamiento universal” en sus elementos, especialmente en materia de derechos fundamentales. El principal instrumento de apertura de la concretización de los derechos fundamentales reside sin duda en el art. 10.2 CE. La función de la “interpretación conforme” es doble: por un lado, la actualización permanente del contenido de los derechos fundamentales constitucionales; por otro, la coordinación de una interpretación autónoma más o menos introvertida de los derechos fundamentales con el estándar internacional de protección de los derechos humanos, de manera que ambos marcos de protección sigan una evolución armónica en el más alto nivel del ordenamiento interno, el de la constitucionalidad. De esta forma el Estado constitucional de Derecho tiende a coincidir con el Estado internacionalmente limitado por el Derecho internacional de los derechos humanos.

Para ello se parte de un estudio dogmático y crítico de los fundamentos de la relación entre la integración europea y las competencias de las Comunidades Autónomas y los mecanismos institucionales de articulación previstos en los ordenamientos europeo y español. En segundo lugar, se realiza un estudio analítico exhaustivo de la transposición de las directivas en las que las Comunidades Autónomas tienen competencias exclusivas o compartidas. A tal efecto se estudian los títulos competenciales utilizados por el legislador estatal para la transposición de directivas, así como las actitudes y estrategias de las Comunidades Autónomas ante la transposición de las directivas que entran dentro de sus competencias exclusivas o compartidas. Por último, la obra propone soluciones jurídico-constitucionales al vaciamiento competencial de las Comunidades Autónomas.
