Most accounts on the Spanish transition to democracy of the late
1970s are based on a false dilemma. Its simplest formulation could
be: was it the pressure from below, i.e. the organized working
classes, students and neighbors associations that triggered
political change; or was the elite settlement reached by the regime
soft-liners and the moderate sectors of the democratic opposition
that established it? This new and innovative volume appraises the
movement towards a more democratic Spain from a variety of
important perspectives; the collection of essays sheds light on the
wide range of crucial processes, institutions and actors involved
in the political transformation that operated in the Spanish
instance of the Third Wave of democratization. By making
comparisons to other democratic transitions, synthesizing the ideas
of several leading Spanish History scholars, as well as
incorporating new voices involved in creating the directions of
research to come, The Politics and Memory of Democratic Transition
offers a thorough and vital look at this key period in contemporary
Spanish history, taking stock of critical lessons to be gleaned
from the Spanish Transition, and pointing the way toward its future
as a democratic nation.
