General description Con esta materia o que se pretende é acadar coñecemento xeral sobre o dereito autonómico que estudará a organización territorial do Estado, as súas bases constitucionais e as vías de acceso á autonomía; a distribución de competencias entre o Estado e as Comunidades Autónomas; a doctrina do Tribunal Constitucional sobre o reparto de competencias.

Por outro lado, se analiza a organización das Comunidades Autónomas: as súas Asambleas Lexislativas e os seus órganos executivos.

Finalmente, se estuda o réximen xurídico dos principais sectores da actividade da competencia autonómica con especial alusión ás leis que regulan o contido propio e específico do dereito derivado do Estatuto de Galicia
