Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The death of General Francisco Franco in November of 1975 ended thirty-six years of fascist-style dictatorship in Spain. The subsequent transition to liberal parliamentary government was remarkably smooth, particularly when compared to the recent difficulties experienced by other states, such as the former Soviet Republics and Eastern Europe. Ortiz traces Spain's success back to the development of a liberal tradition and a public sphere in the last decades of the 19th century during the Restoration period. He uses this era as a test case to demonstrate that liberal practices can develop even within a political situation where state institutions and the social infrastructure do not necessarily support them. Paper Liberals dispels the notion that Western Europe ends at the Pyrenees and argues instead that, while on the periphery, Spain should not be excluded from the mainstream of European history. Clarifying a period in contemporary Spanish history that has been largely misunderstood, this study underscores the importance of the Spanish example as a comparative model to the countries customarily thought of as the European center (Britain, France, and Germany). Ortiz examines the formation and expansion of liberal political culture during the Regency of Maria Christina from 1885 to 1902, and he details the pivotal role of the Spanish press, which dominated the public sphere of Regency Spain, as the vehicle for this remarkable transformation.

Download or read book The authoritarian virus Between infection and immunity written by Sjifra Edith de Leeuw and published by Sjifra E. de Leeuw. This book was released on 2021 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his famous appeal against fascism, German philosopher Karl Loewenstein warned that democracy may one day be destroyed from within. To date, the fear of this authoritarian virus has not subsided. Many worry that exposure to this virus may end in infection, disease, or possibly even the death of democracy. They sound the alarm about the corrosion of democratic values, the weakening of democratic institutions, the rise of strongman politics, and the resurgence of the far-right. In this dissertation, I alleviate this pessimistic mood. I argue that exposure also helps build immunity. I test this claim by examining how citizens respond when they are exposed to a sample of the virus: an image of what living under authoritarian rule would look like. I use the term authoritarian framing effects to describe these responses. I develop empirical tests of authoritarian framing effects in 42 democracies. The results shed new light on the nature and effects of the authoritarian virus. Some of my findings justify the pessimistic mood of earlier work: Exposure corrodes democratic values, but only among some citizens in some countries and this is decreasingly so. More importantly, I find that the symptoms of immunity outweigh the symptoms of infection. I show that exposure to the image of authoritarian rule reaffirms democratic values and strengthens support for strategies of democratic defense among a growing number of citizens. These ‘immune’ citizens constitute a valuable safeguard against future authoritarian revival.
Download or read book Unexpected Voices in Imperial Parliaments written by Josep M. Fradera and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-03 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection follows the extraordinary careers of nine colonial subjects who won seats in high-level parliamentary institutions of the imperial powers that ruled over them. Revealing an unexplored dimension of the complex political organisation of modern empires, the essays show how early imperial constitutions allowed for the emergence of these unexpected members of parliament, asks how their presence was possible, and unveils the reactions across metropolitan circles, local communities and the voters who brought them to office. Unearthing the entanglements between political life in metropolitan and non-European societies, it illuminates the ambiguous zones, the margins for negotiation, and the emerging forms of leadership in colonial societies. From a Hispanicised Inca nobleman, to recently emancipated slaves and African colonial subjects, in linking these individuals and their political careers together, Unexpected Voices in Imperial Parliaments argues that the political organisation of modern empires incorporated the voices of the colonised and the non-European, in an ambiguous relationship that led to a widening of political participation and action throughout the imperial world. In doing so, this book offers a comprehensive but nuanced reassessment of the making and unmaking of modern empires.
