Descrição
Resumo:The public sector in Spain has undergone significant structural transformations over the last three decades, that have reshaped its boundaries and by implication, public sector employment relations. These long-term changes are similar to those observed in most western European countries, but exhibit some national specificities determined by the socio-economic, political and institutional context in Spain. Two of them are particularly important in order to understand its current or-ganizational structure. The first consists in the process of asymmetric regional de-centralization where Autonomous Communities (regions) have acquired increasing responsibility in issues like education, health or municipalities. This process of decentralization means that the central gov-ernment's role within the public sector is increasingly limited to coordinating the implementation at regional and local levels, rather than to deliver public services.
