This fully revised and updated third edition reflects the
considerable changes in Spain over the last decade as the country
celebrates 40 years of its constitution. The author gives fresh
insight into the formal and informal workings of this dynamic
southern European democracy. Thoroughly examining Spain's
historical background, political culture, core political
institutions and foreign policy-making, each chapter provides a
research-based overview of the studied topic which can then be used
as the basis for further research by students. Key themes of the
book include: A thorough overview of contemporary Spanish politics,
especially the governments of Zapatero and Rajoy; Spain's political
culture and institutional framework; The Spanish economy, and the
consequences of the economic and sovereign debt crisis; Foreign
policy-making; the reaction to the global anti-terrorist coalition
and the Madrid bombings; Policy-making process and the system of
interest intermediation; Party system and electoral process; The
dynamics of regional/territorial politics and the Basque, Catalan
and Galician nationalisms, particularly the quest for Catalan
independence; External relations with the European Union, the
Mediterranean and Latin America; Constitutional reform;
Immigration. Richly illustrated with maps and presenting large
amounts of statistical and quantitative data, this book is an
indispensable source of information for students, academics and the
wider public interested in Spanish politics.
