At the end of the twentieth century it has adopted a new model: Regional State, which represents an intermediate scheme between unitary and federal. This model requires changes in the ratio of national to regional levels, through a process of land management that enhances the decentralization and the freedom granted to the regions, but the process is just set and underdeveloped. Land arrangement includes several aspects: 1) Division of the territory of the Republic, 2) distribution of competencies and resources among the nation its territorial units, and 3) The ordering, planning and management of territorial space by organizing human activities and uses of soil. Due to incomplete and confusing territorial model, currently own dynamics combine Unitariancentralist state with regional demands this creates the juxtaposition and uncoordinated sectoral policies of national land policies to subnational levels.
