This book, written by three of the world's leading experts on
Spanish politics, is the first comprehensive study of the origins
and basic character of Spain's democratic political system. It
analyzes the regime's core political institutions, its political
parties and party systems, patterns of electoral behavior, the
evolution of Spain's political culture, and the impact of these
social and institutional changes on public policy processes and
outputs. The authors survey those aspects of Spanish society and
politics that had contributed to the country's inability to sustain
a stable and democratic regime prior to the 1970s. They argue that
the successful transition to and consolidation of democracy was
made possible by socioeconomic modernization, cultural change, and
by decisions made by political elites in the establishment of core
democratic institutions and the conduct of electoral competition.
This book is based on over 500 hours of interviews with Spanish
political elites, extensive analyses of survey data, and other
original research.
