The demands for the recognition of the distinctiveness of Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia, within the Spanish State became one of the most important challenges in 1978. In fact, the writing of the second article of the Spanish Constitution  in which the "nationalities and regions" of Spain were recognized, was the most hotly debated in the Parliament. Its acceptance was not smooth: the right vigorously opposed it, while the nationalists and the left firmly objected leaving it out. The natural corollary to debating the term "nationalities" was debating the term "nation".

Disruptor #2: Low Trust in Big Institutions

1. Speaking not in terms of personal integrity, but rather in terms of the responsible, professional handling of conflict situations.
2. Recognition, as the basis for government ethics rules and administration, of the fiduciary duties of government officials and employees, the appearance of their conduct to the community, and how officials’ handling of conflict situations affects the public’s trust in those who manage their community and public participation in the government.

Ethics training is a useful tool for strengthening ethics and preventing corruption in public administration if applied together with other tools as part of a comprehensive anti-corruption and pro-integrity policy. Ethics training alone cannot produce sustainable results, especially in countries with high levels of corruption.

Rules of conduct and codes of ethics often provide quite detailed roadmaps to assist the lobbyist in traversing ethically dangerous terrain. Some of these codes look like laws, but they are distinguishable because they are largely not enforceable. Others may be enforced through the disciplinary processes of professional organizations
