Summary: Cultural diplomacy is usually defined as an artistic and intellectual exchanges policy developed within Nation-States. During the last three decades we saw the proliferation of diverse external cultural policies structures of subnational governments all around the world. This can be explained due the restructuration of postfordist State, the appearance of new actors and the development of multiple schemes of multilevel governance. However, the rupture of central governments monopoly in the area supposes a challenge for the develop-ment of new representation systems of States abroad. In Spain case, the significant decen-tralization of public administration since democratic transition permitted the emergence of cultural paradiplomacies of autonomic governments. This work analyses this process by studying the cases of General Administration of State and Catalan Autonomic Community and seek to explain how the abroad cultural action of the State of Autonomies is configured. In this regard, this article shows the inexistence of a federal system of cultural diplomacy. By contrast, it demonstrates the presence of an intergovernmental competition in which processes of nation building are opposed and where legitimacy and monopoly of exterior cultural projection are on debate.
