unitary constitutional welfare state Explanation: A unitary state (not unitarian, which usually has a religious meaning) is "A state governed as one single unit in which the central government is supreme and any administrative divisions (subnational units) exercise only powers that their central government chooses to delegate." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_state An estado de derecho is a state governed by the rule of law, ie a constitutional state: "El Estado de derecho es aquel Estado en el que sus autoridades se rigen, permanecen y están sometidas a un derecho vigente en lo que se conoce como un Estado de derecho formal." http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estado_de_derecho And a welfare state doesn't necessarily mean one which provides cradle-to-grave social care. It's a "concept of government in which the state plays a key role in the protection and promotion of the economic and social well-being of its citizens." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_state The asker does not ask about "plurinacional comunitario". This phrase does not belong with "derecho", and it doesn't mean "plurinational community law" or anything like that. It has a specific meaning in relation to the indigenous communities of Latin America, and is discussed here: http://libertadesdemocraticas.blogspot.com/2008/09/estado-so... |
