Expresiones políticas, materiales y simbólicas de los procesos reformistas “liberales en Iberoamérica” durante el siglo XIX
El volumen que se presenta reúne una serie de trabajos escritos por especialistas de diversas instituciones académicas y científicas procedentes de distintos países iberoamericanos. Fueron convocados bajo una consigna general muy amplia. La idea era que este volumen tratara problemáticas relativas a lo que los procesos independentistas habían dejado o traído consigo. Dicha convocatoria fue decantando en la cuestión de las reformas genéricamente denominadas liberales por la historiografía y en cómo éstas se fueron plasmando en diversas fases y momentos en cada una de las sociedades emergentes después de las revoluciones. En ese sentido, el volumen está formado por capítulos que abordan diversas problemáticas locales y globales de los territorios del imperio español y lusitano, a partir de la crisis de las respectivas Monarquías y durante todo el siglo XIX
El Trienio Liberal
El Trieno Liberal de Alberto Gil Novales (1980) se ha convertido en la síntesis de referencia sobre el período 1820-1823 y, a pesar de que han pasado cuatro décadas de su primera publicación, sigue siendo una introducción excelente sobre este capítulo clave de la historia contemporánea española. La presente edición incorpora un estudio preliminar sobre el autor y una actualización bibliográfica sobre el Trienio Liberal a cargo de Ramon Arnabat.
La “santa ciudadanía” del imperio:
Los procesos constitucionales de España, Portugal y Brasil estuvieron bastante interconectados tras las revoluciones liberales de España, Oporto y el proceso de independencia de Brasil. La Constitución de Cádiz significó una bandera enarbolada en todas las revoluciones del periodo. En estos tres procesos constitucionales buscamos resaltar la relación entre la ciudadanía definida en los textos constitucionales estudiados y el establecimiento de la confesionalidad del Estado. Buscamos establecer la relación de como la declaración de Confesionalidad del Estado restringía la Ciudadanía. Esta misma relación será estudiada específicamente en la Constitución otorgada de 1824 de Brasi...
The Imperial Nation
How the legacy of monarchical empires shaped Britain, France, Spain, and the United States as they became liberal entities Historians view the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries as a turning point when imperial monarchies collapsed and modern nations emerged. Treating this pivotal moment as a bridge rather than a break, The Imperial Nation offers a sweeping examination of four of these modern powers—Great Britain, France, Spain, and the United States—and asks how, after the great revolutionary cycle in Europe and America, the history of monarchical empires shaped these new nations. Josep Fradera explores this transition, paying particular attention to the relations between im...

Borges, a Life
Short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) revolutionized the literature of Latin America almost single-handedly and left a legion of readers and admirers worldwide.Based on an unprecedented range of interviews and on research into previously unknown or unavailable resources, this is the first biography in any language to encompass the entire span of Borges’s life and work. In Borges, Edwin Williamson brings to life the little known human side of the writer: his ancestral roots in Argentina, his relations with family and friends, his passions and despairs, and the evolution of his political ideas. By correlating this new biographical information with Borges’s literary texts, Williamson also reconstructs the dynamics of his inner world—the conflicts, desires, and obsessions that drove the man and shaped his work. This major new study finally unlocks the mysteries that have obscured the life of Borges. The result is a compelling and often poignant portrait that will radically transform our views of this modern master.
The Power of Entrepreneurs
Although Spain is an important member of the EU, relatively little is known about its economy and its interrelationship with political forces. This book, the first of its kind, offers a long-term view and analyzes this ever-changing relationship throughout the 20th century with its various upheavals such as the crisis of the democratic republic and the civil war in the 1930s, the long General Franco dictatorship from the 1940s until the 1970s and the subsequent transition to democracy. From the detailed studies of individual cases, specific companies as well as entrepreneurial organizations, a very diverse picture emerges, contradicting widespread simplistic interpretations of politico-economic linkages, which demonstrates both the pluralism of the economic interests as well as the complexity of their relationship to the political class.
Enterprise in the Period of Fascism in Europe
The essays in this volume consider the involvement of business corporations and of individual businessmen in the politics of the 1930s and 1940s: in the move away from the market and also from democracy, towards state control and authoritarianism, including the massive intervention of the state in property rights. How far did businesses attempt to guide this intervention for their own purposes, and to what extent did they succeed? This debate deals, centrally, with the role of German business, of banks, of industrial corporations, and of small tradesmen in the Nazi regime. An older discussion of how they may have facilitated the Nazi takeover has been supplemented here by an investigation in...
