Abstract

In Spain the whole of the administrative apparatus which directs and coordinates the action of the government is concentrated in one single entity which is known by the name of Moncloa. The administrative structure which lies at the summit of the executive was altered in 1982 in order to remedy the chronic instability inflicting the system under the different governments which made the transition towards democracy. The two organs which are closest to the head of government are the General Secretariat and the presidential cabinet. The role of assisting Prime Minister is equally important but it varies according to the political choices of the Prime Minister. Finally the ministry of the presidency is more specifically charged with the task of assuring intergovemmental coordination. The importance of these structures often appears as a factor in the ‘presidentialisation’ of the Spanish parliamentary regime.
