Research Areas

This research project carried out for the BBVA Foundation has focused on analyzing the functioning of the Spanish judicial system that it has been criticized throughout the decades since the adoption of the 1978 Constitution. During the crisis public trust has diminished greatly in the institutions responsible for this important role, as well as in their results. According to the Eurobarometer, in this area we can observe the greatest differences between Spain and other developed countries in terms of confidence in public institutions. These negative impressions contrast with the abundant legislative and administrative reforms of recent decades, including the ones addressed in the beginning years of the 21st century.
