In this distinctive new history of the origins of the Spanish Civil
War, James Simpson and Juan Carmona tackle the highly-debated issue
of why it was that Spain's democratic Second Republic failed. They
explore the interconnections between economic growth, state
capacity, rural social mobility and the creation of mass
competitive political parties, and how these limited the
effectiveness of the new republican governments, and especially
their attempts to tackle economic and social problems within the
agricultural sector. They show how political change during the
Republic had a major economic impact on the different groups in
village society, leading to social conflicts that turned to
polarization and finally, with the civil war, to violence and
brutality. The democratic Republic failed not so much because of
the opposition from the landed elites, but rather because small
farmers had been unable to exploit more effectively their newly
found political voice.
