Politique et administration en Espagne :  continuité historique et pespectives 

 - Paris :  IIAP,  avril/juin 1998 
<br/><br/> In opposition to the political upheavels which Spain has undergone in her recent history, stands a certain stability of the politico-administrative system. During the time of Franco, the absense of public debate contributed to the complete transfer of politics into the sphere of bureaucracy. Organised into "corps", the elite benefited from rights and special privileges and succeeded in making itself indipensable by preventing development of alternatice structures. This historical heritage has proved difficult to challenge since the transition towards democracy. Reforms aimed at the professionalisation of the administration have not yet succeeded in depoliticising it
