Electoral and parliamentary arenas play a crucial role in the
configuration and dynamics of modern polities. This book explores
the practices of citizenship and unveils the fabric of
representation in the Iberian countries, during a significant
period of liberal politics, that is, from its apogee to its
collapse (from the 1870s to the 1920s). Part One examines the
evolution of electoral norms and behaviour, as well as the
recruitment profile of MPs. Portugal and Spain share fundamental
features, such as the extensive clientelistic mobilisation of
voters, the dissemination of fraud and corruption, the supremacy of
governmental parties and the prevalence of the politics of
notables. Part Two focuses on Parliament, questioning
constitutional models, internal procedures, legislative action and
political activity, as well as coetaneous perceptions and images of
the institution and its actors as portrayed in novels, newspaper
chronicles, cartoons and photographic reports. This collection of
essays offers a detailed and cogent analysis, as well as a vivid
picture, of the politics of representation in Portuguese and
Spanish liberalism, revealing significant similarities and
differences through cross-country comparisons.
