"Enlightenment, Governance, and Reform in Spain and its Empire,
1759-1808" offers a new interpretation of political reform in Spain
and its American empire in the second half of the eighteenth
century. It examines the intellectual foundations of commercial,
administrative, and colonial policy during the tumultuous reigns of
Charles III (1759-1788) and Charles IV (1788-1808), and explores
how crown reformers employed both the ideas of the European
Enlightenment and Iberian juridical concepts to create a
distinctive ideology of governance. They sought to use these ideas
in order to reinvigorate the Spanish monarchy and to transform the
institutions of the Old Regime into those of a modern state in both
the Old World and the New. Drawing on archival research undertaken
in Spain, Cuba, Chile, and Argentina, this book makes an important
contribution to the histories of Spain, Latin America, and the
Atlantic World.
