The article examines the specificities of local self-government in Spain. The Constitution of Spain established a system of division of powers between the state and autonomous communities and specifies the content of two types of autonomy: territorial and local, each of which has a different legal nature. In Spain, an optimal balance between centralization and decentralization has been achieved, which depends on the order in which competences are distributed between the central government, the regions and the local government bodies, the scope of its competences and the principles of cooperation with the state and regional authorities.

Corruption regardless of its form and the stage at which it occurs has a pathological character. It has a destructive impact on the functioning mechanisms of public at state level, at local level and private institutions, as well as causing dysfunctions in economic systems. In addition, corruption causes security threats on a national, regional and global scale. There is no country in the world that has managed to fully solve the problem of corruption. The mechanisms and guidelines being put in place for offices and organisations countering this issue only limit the scale and narrow the area of impact. Even institutions concerned with ensuring security inside the state and protecting its interests beyond its borders are not free from this practice. This article will describe the impact of bribery on the functioning of key areas affecting the entire state and international security system.
