The Politics of Representation
Electoral and parliamentary arenas play a crucial role in the configuration and dynamics of modern polities. This book explores the practices of citizenship and unveils the fabric of representation in the Iberian countries, during a significant period of liberal politics, that is, from its apogee to its collapse (from the 1870s to the 1920s). Part One examines the evolution of electoral norms and behaviour, as well as the recruitment profile of MPs. Portugal and Spain share fundamental features, such as the extensive clientelistic mobilisation of voters, the dissemination of fraud and corruption, the supremacy of governmental parties and the prevalence of the politics of notables. Part Two f...
Octubre 1934
Los acontecimientos de octubre de 1934, de los que ahora se cumplen noventa años, supusieron un parteaguas trascendental en la vida de la Segunda República, cuyo peso merita un libro como este; un esfuerzo colectivo que reúne a trece expertos para relatar, analizar y comprender de manera integral un fenómeno histórico complejo que transitó según los casos entre la huelga general insurreccional, la rebeldía institucional y la auténtica revolución social. Esta obra remonta el análisis al vuelco electoral de noviembre de 1933 que abrió las puertas del Gobierno al centro, apoyado por la derecha accidentalista, lo que conllevó un proceso de rectificación de las anteriores reformas r...

Hitler's Shadow Empire
Pitting fascists and communists in a showdown for supremacy, the Spanish Civil War has long been seen as a grim dress rehearsal for World War II. Francisco Franco’s Nationalists prevailed with German and Italian military assistance—a clear instance, it seemed, of like-minded regimes joining forces in the fight against global Bolshevism. In Hitler’s Shadow Empire Pierpaolo Barbieri revises this standard account of Axis intervention in the Spanish Civil War, arguing that economic ambitions—not ideology—drove Hitler’s Iberian intervention. The Nazis hoped to establish an economic empire in Europe, and in Spain they tested the tactics intended for future subject territories. “The S...

Los Diputados por Andalucía de la Segunda República 1931-1939
Este proyecto editorial pretende rescatar del olvido a la élite política que representó a Andalucía en las Cortes republicanas, recuperando así la biografía de aquella generación que, si bien sus destinos corrieron distinta suerte, todos se caracterizan por ser prácticamente desconocidos para el público actual. La obra que aquí se presenta es el primer tomo (de la A a la E), que se complementa con un estudio preliminar, que ayuda al lector a encajar la experiencia de los protagonistas en el entorno de aquellos convulsos años.
After the Civil War
The Spanish civil war was fought out not only on streets and battlefields from 1936 to 1939 but also in terms of memory and trauma in the decades that followed. This fascinating book explores how the memory of Spain's bloody civil war has been contested from 1939 to the present.
Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century
This book focuses on the political exile of Catholic Christian Democrats during the global twentieth century, from the end of the First World War to the end of the Cold War. Transcending the common national approach, the present volume puts transnational perspectives at center stage and in doing so aspires to be a genuinely global and longitudinal study. Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century includes chapters on continental European exile in the United Kingdom and North America through 1945; on Spanish exile following the Civil War (1936–39), throughout the Franco dictatorship; on East-Central European exile from the defeat of Nazi Germany and the establishment of Communist rule (1944–48) through the end of the Cold War; and Latin American exile following the 1973 Chilean coup. Encompassing Europe (both East and West), Latin America, and the United States, Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century places the diasporas of twentieth-century Christian Democracy within broader, global debates on political exile and migration.
