Abstract

This paper focuses on tensions between the governments of Catalonia
and Spain, using as a proxy the number of instances of litigations per
year between these two bodies brought before the Constitutional
Court between 1984 and 2014. On the one hand, descriptive statistics
demonstrate that Catalonia is the most conflictive region in Spain. On
the other hand, inferential statistics indicate that periods of absolute
majority in the Spanish Parliament, the presence of a nationalist
government in Catalonia, and funding problems of the Catalan
Government tend to increase the number of inter-governmental
conflicts with the Spanish Government.
