Few would have imagined the developments and the extent of reforms
that occurred under Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez
Zapatero between 2004 and 2008. Under Zapatero, Spain rapidly
withdrew Spanish troops from Iraq, held a very public political
debate on the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship, passed
very progressive social legislation that included gay marriage and
adoption as well as a sweeping gender equality act, and expanded
autonomy in six of Spain's 17 regions. It has become quite common
to refer to some or all of these developments as a 'second
transition' that alters or revisits policies, institutional
arrangements and political strategies that were established during
Spain's transition to democracy. This book analyzes the patterns of
continuity and change and provides a nuanced, critical evaluation
of the concept of a 'second transition'. Three broad questions are
addressed. First, to what degree do the developments under
Zapatero's Socialist government represent a departure from prior
patterns of Spanish politics? Second, what accounts for the
continuities and departures? Finally, the project begins to assess
the implications of these developments. Are there lasting effects,
for example, on political participation, electoral alignments,
interparty and inter-regional relations more broadly? This book was
published as a special issue of South European Society &
Politics.
