Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The so-called ‘Spanish miracle’, beginning in the mid-1990s, eventually became a nightmare for the majority of the population, culminating in the present-day economic and political crisis. This book explores the main features of the Spanish political-economic model during both the growth and crisis periods. Analyzing the causes and consequences of the continuing economic crisis in Spain, this book delves into five analytical axes: the evolution of the growth model; the role of Spain in the international division of labor; the financial sector and its influence on the rest of the economy; changes in the labor market; and the distributional consequences of both the expansive phase and the later crisis. Furthermore, contributors examine the formation of a triangle of actors (the government sector, building sector, and financial capital) that shaped the Spanish growth model, together with the effects of Spain’s membership in the Economic and Monetary Union. Also considering ecological problems, gender issues, and the immigration question, this book challenges the alleged recovery of living conditions during recent years, as well as the explanation of the crisis as the result of irrational behaviors or the greedy nature of certain actors. The Political Economy of Contemporary Spain provides a coherent explanation of the Spanish economic crisis based on a pluralistic approach, while proposing several measures that could contribute to a transformation of Spain’s economic and social models.

Download or read book Policy Stability and Democratic Change written by Thomas D. Lancaster and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the effects of peaceful regime change on public policy making. Spain's National Energy Plan (PEN) in particular illustrates a situation in which a critical policy issue permits direct comparison of decision-making across regime change, that being from the Franco dictatorship to the present liberal democracy. Energy policy in Spain is revealing not only because the Spanish state plays a central role in this fundamental economic area but also because the first PEN was caught up in the politics of the transition; it was written in 1977 but not approved by the Cortes until 1979, and its revision was published in early 1982. The most recent PEN was produced by the Socialist government. Lancaster's study reveals that the nature of the political coalition underlying the change of Spain's regime accounts for a lack of a significant difference in policy-making processes in this particular policy issue. The book develops a two-pronged argument to explain the absence of significant policy change. The first is based on a general view of the Franco regime's and the democratic system's coalitional support. In each, three major political forces are seen as central: the military, business, and labor. One of these, business, is seen as being pivotal in the regime transition, and that pivotal position, it is argued, has permitted a defense of a national energy policy beneficial to its economic interests in energy. The argument's second part focuses on binding constraints on the effects of policy which are imposed by private interests in state planning, and on the generally non-binding nature of oppositional party policy proposals and public opinion. In addition, this analysis discusses such agents of the policy process as interest group influence, political parties and their effect on agenda formation, choice of policy instruments, and the effects of bureaucratic structure on policy. Based on extensive field research and many interviews with government, party, labor, and business leaders, this work will be important reading for scholars and students interested in the political science, history, and sociology of contemporary Spain. It will also be of value to individuals interested in the economics and public policy of European countries.
