Abstract

This text tackles two issues: the political content of the Rudolf Smend’s Integrationslehre and its critical interpretation by 1930s Spanish Public Law, mainly by Eduardo L. Llorens, a Constitutional Law Scholar who developed a State theory based also on the idea of integration. A basic aspect of the research is the comparison between these doctrines about integration and the attempt to find the political principle of each other. With this purpose, the scientific paradigm shared by both theories has been delimited and the disagreements between them highlighted. Through a critical revision of the studies about Smend’s Integrationslehre, a new interpretation of its contents has been posed, in order to understand why Eduardo Llorens, usually considered as the main Smend’s Spanish supporter, flatly rejected his doctrine.
