This book provides a cultural history of Spanish politics from the civil war of 1833 to the Spanish adoption of the Euro in 2002, a period dominated for the most part by violent military interventions in the political process, a succession of weak, unstable, but repressive governments, and the ever-present threat of rebellion from below, and culminating in the victory and repressive dictatorship of General Franco. Using a wide range of sources, both textual and material, Mary Vincent focuses on the question of how ordinary people came to identify themselves both as citizens and as Spaniards throughout this turbulent period. She argues that a weak state rather than a weak sense of nation was ...

Las amenazas terroristas del siglo XXI obligan a replantear la misión, estructura, objetivos y recursos empleados para combatirlas. Por ello, el papel jugado por la información obtenida y gestionada para generar nuevo conocimiento realza aún más si cabe la capital importancia de la función encomendada a los servicios de inteligencia. En este libro, expertos procedentes de diversas áreas científicas junto a profesionales vinculados a la seguridad y la defensa analizan en quince capítulos el complejo entorno de la elaboración de inteligencia para apoyar la toma de decisiones en la lucha contra el terrorismo actual. Desde la evolución de las estructuras de inteligencia nacionales e internacionales hasta la revisión de la metodología derivada del ciclo de inteligencia, los autores proponen una nueva reflexión interdisciplinar en la que también tiene cabida la dimensión económica de la seguridad nacional.
In 1872, there were more than 300,000 slaves in Cuba and Puerto Rico. Though the Spanish government had passed a law for gradual abolition in 1870, slaveowners, particularly in Cuba, clung tenaciously to their slaves as unfree labor was at the core of the colonial economies. Nonetheless, people throughout the Spanish empire fought to abolish slavery, including the Antillean and Spanish liberals and republicans who founded the Spanish Abolitionist Society in 1865. This book is an extensive study of the origins of the Abolitionist Society and its role in the destruction of Cuban and Puerto Rican slavery and the reshaping of colonial politics.

Spain's First Carlist War was an unlikely agent of modernity. It pitted town against country, subalterns against elites, and Europe's Liberal powers against Absolute Monarchies. This book traces the individual, collective and international experience of this conflict, giving equal attention to battle fronts and home fronts.
