Del ruido de sables a la algarabía de los mercados: la LOAPA vista desde las atípicas armonizaciones de hoy

Abstract

This paper examines the future impact that the draft Autonomy Process Harmonisation Act (Ley Orgánica de Armonización del Proceso Autonómico or LOAPA) would have on the State of the Autonomies and Constitutional Court Ruling 76/1983, which would prevent it from being approved as a law. The doctrine therein reflects the conflict between equality and diversity regulations and the harmonising laws set forth in article 105.3 of the Constitution. And it contains elements that can be compared with the subsequent praxis that led to harmonisation in other ways at a time of crisis, when the state legislator seems to have been seduced by the new de facto power of the Markets.
