CARDOSO, João Casqueira. Galicia and Portuguese-Speaking Countries: a community of law?. População e Sociedade [online]. 2023, n.40, pp.45-60.  Epub 20-Ene-2024. ISSN 0873-1861.  https://doi.org/10.52224/21845263/rev40a4.

Galicia, an autonomous community and historic nationality of Spain, has linguistic and cultural, as well as social and economic links with Portugal and Brazil. But what is its legal relationship with the Portuguese-speaking states as a whole? This question arises because of the maturity of the international Portuguese-speaking organisation, the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, or CPLP, and its international attractiveness. What opportunities does Galicia have to join this organisation? Can the CPLP, as a structure, integrate in its organisation a sub-national entity, as is the case for Galicia? What are the points of contact between the law of the Portuguese-speaking countries and Galicia? Finally, what is Galicia's interest in joining the 'Lusophony'? While Galicia has indeed developed political, cultural and legal relations with the CPLP, it is doubtful whether a genuine common legal culture is emerging, either within the CPLP, or between Galicia and the Portuguese-speaking states.
