PREFACE Spain has an open constitutional system which was set up in 1938. It comprises a series of laws which by virtue of their nature, fall into the category of fundamental laws. This system originated with the Fuero del Trabajo (Labour Law) of 9th March, 1938, later amplified by the Constitutive Law of the Cortes of 17th July, 1942 (and amended by that of 9th March, 1946), the Fuero de los Espatioles (Statute Law of the Spanish People), of 17th July, 1945; the Law of the National Referendum of 22nd October, 1945; the Law of Succession in the Headship of State of 26th July, 1947; the Law on the Principles of the National Movement of 17th May, 1958; and, finally, by the Organic Law of the State of 10th January, 1967. The designation of the cited dispositions as Fundamental Laws was effected by the Law of Succession in the Headship of State, in the case of those passed prior to that Law, and in the case of those passed subsequently, by the appropriate constitutional norms. The titles of the Funda- mental Laws are sufficiently descriptive to give one an idea of the scope allowed the constitutional norms at the present time. Throughout the past thirty years, the Spanish State has been drafting and submitting to referen- dum a number of dispositions regulating all the basic aspects of national life. In effect, after the initial regulation of social and-labour questions, the first of the Fundamental Laws of Spain, there followed the institution of the supreme 11 organ for the participation of the people in the collective tasks of the State, through the Law of the Cortes. Then, the rights and duties of the Spanish people were given constitutional status in the Fuero de los Espahioles (Statute Law of the Spanish People). Similarly, the Law of the National Referendum established a system of direct democracy which permits the intervention of the entire nation in any dispositions that may warrant such interven- tion. Finally, a disposition in respect of the Mechanism of the succession was approved, which guarantees continuity on the death of the Caudillo (Franco). As an aggregate of all the foregoing dispositions, there was decreed in 1958 the Law on the Fundamental Principles of the National Movement. And lastly, the constitutional system was completed by the approval of the Organic Law of the State, which regulates the structure and the functions of the organs of Government. The importance of these - Laws, their scope and the transcendental nature of the factors governing them have demanded the highest degree of dexterity in their pre- paration. For this reason, the process of their formulation included a number of technical and political phases, culminating in their legalization by the people. The preparation of the Laws began at the technical level, with the collaboration of the most eminent Spanish specialists in each field of inquiry, holding office in the legal depart- ments of the various Ministres. Each and every Law has been drafted with the utmost precision and care, the different Cabinet Ministers intervening directly in such drafting, thus contributing their experience and their political understanding, and ensuring a realistic assessment of the' problems involved. But the most decisive partici- pation was made by the Head of State, who has outlined both the objectives and the directives to be followed as the basic ideas inspiring every Law. The definitive texts 12 of the fundamental norms are a true reflection of the views of the Caudillo. The technical perfection and the political timeliness of the different Fundamental Laws having been ensured, the Head of State brings them to the notice of the Cortes, the supreme organ of representation, which, after due perusal, approves their submission to the sanction of every Spaniard. The machinery of the national referendum, as a system of direct democracy, has twice been put in motion in Spain. The first occasion was in 1947, with the promul- gation of the Law of Succession in the Headship of State, which regulated the fundamental questions inherent in the future of the country and established the fundamental character of the Laws passed before that date. Thus, the 1947 Referendum constitutes a ratification of all the norms of a constitutional nature which became manifest in Spain up to that moment. The second occasion was in December, 1966, with the approval of the Organic Law of the State, together with all the amendments to the other Fundamental Laws. The Government was thereby authorized to publish in a revised version all the major dispositions existing before that date. This new Referendum represents a definitive confirmation of the Spanish Constitution. These two events, in which the counsel of the nation was sought, and whose overwhelming positive result is unquestionable, are in themselves an indication of the most absolute support and the irrefutable affirmation of the Spanish people that they are in agreement with the fundamental legislation as passed. Furthermore, the majority and almost unanimous "yes" in both Referenda is tantamount to a vote of confidence for the Head of State, who has proved his ability to interpret faithfully the interests and the wishes of the Spanish people when the time came to propose the Fundamental Laws to the nation. It is only this synchronization of the 13 thoughts of the Caudillo with the ideals and aspirations of the Spanish people that can explain the sweeping majority of votes obtained in the Referenda of 1947 and 1966. Perhaps one of the reasons behind the popular consensus obtained by the Referenda and the Fundamental Laws lies in the openness and comprehensiveness of their nature. As the Caudillo has said on many occasions, Spain is in a perennial process of constitution. But this inception of the Spanish Constitution, this possibility of expansion and of adaptation to the demands of the moment, does not affect her stability or her permanency. On the contrary, the Fundamental Laws have a mission in the future. Proof of this is that in the Law of Succession in the Headship of State, which enumerates the Fundamental Laws, it is stipulated that their derogation or modification is subject to not only the approval of the Cortes, but to a National Referendum. This express mandate signifies that the Fundamental Laws are intended to have a degree of continuity throughout the period of their efficacy as a basic element for the orderly development of the social life of the people. The sense of open constitution in the Fundamental Laws is an outgrowth of the concept of the Regime that the principal norms must at all times be in keeping with the special characteristics and needs of the nation, and must take into account the mentality and attitudes of the Spanish people. It follows, therefore, that a reforming mechanism must be prepared for the expansion and perfecting of such laws. Similarly, this possibility of reform is imperative in the case of. the Spanish Funda- mental Laws, in view of their scope and the variety of questions falling under their jurisdiction. The problem of the Spanish State was either to restrict the dispositions of a fundamental nature to a limited number of aspects of life, thus endowing them with a more permanent character, or to extend the regulation on constitutional 14 lines to all those hypotheses and questions whose impor- tance seemed to justify it. The second method was adopted and, therefore, the Spanish Constitution had to be made susceptible to constant adaptations and improve- ments. In Spain, the Fundamental Laws regulate all the matters covered by traditional constitutions, as well as a number of specific questions and problems dictated by the special conditions of the country, which had to be given prime importance. Thus, Spanish fundamental legislation deals with a variety of aspects of the problems of the com- munity. It embraces the system of reform of the Constitution; the duties and rights of the Spanish people; the management of property; national sovereignty; the Head of State and the Government of the Nation, includ- ing the President and all Ministers; the Spanish Cortes (Parliament) and the National Council, the second repre- sentative Chamber; the relations between the Cortes and the Government; the administration of Justice; the Council of National Economy; and the Territorial Districts. Further- more, the Fundamental Laws include a number of norms relating to labour laws, to the regulations governing private enterprise, Trade Union Organizations, etc. This wide range of subject-matter, this extension of the terms of reference of the Fundamental Laws, may give the impression that, in essence, they are merely declarations of principles which have been maintained at the planning level, but which have not been actually applied in operative dispositions.

  • How Can a Modern History of the Basque Country Make Sense? on Nation, Identity, and Territories in the Making of Spain
    HOW CAN A MODERN HISTORY OF THE BASQUE COUNTRY MAKE SENSE? ON NATION, IDENTITY, AND TERRITORIES IN THE MAKING OF SPAIN JOSE M. PORTILLO VALDES Universidad del Pais Vasco Center for Basque Studies, University of Nevada (Reno) One of the more recurrent debates among Basque historians has to do with the very object of their primary concern. Since a Basque political body, real or imagined, has never existed before the end of the nineteenth century -and formally not until 1936- an «essentialist» question has permanently been hanging around the mind of any Basque historian: she might be writing the histo- ry of an non-existent subject. On the other hand, the heaviness of the «national dispute» between Basque and Spanish identities in the Spanish Basque territories has deeply determined the mean- ing of such a cardinal question. Denying the «other's» historicity is a very well known weapon in the hands of any nationalist dis- course and, conversely, claiming to have a millenary past behind one's shoulders, or being the bearer of a single people's history, is a must for any «national» history. Consequently, for those who consider the Spanish one as the true national identity and the Basque one just a secondary «decoration», the history of the Basque Country simply does not exist or it refers to the last six decades. On the other hand, for those Basques who deem the Spanish an imposed identity, Basque history is a sacred territory, the last refuge for the true identity. Although apparently uncontaminated by politics, Basque aca- demic historiography gently reproduces discourses based on na- - 53 - ESPANA CONTEMPORANEA tionalist assumptions.

Pre-constitutional Law and Constitutions: Spanish Colonial Law and the Constitution of Cádiz M.C. Mirow* The Spanish Constitution of Cádiz of 1812 has recently gained the attention of constitutionalists and legal historians as an essential step in the development of world constitutionalism generally and Latin American constitutionalism more specifically. This interest in the Constitution of Cádiz, or the Spanish Constitution of 1812, has increased due to its bicentennial in 2012 and by the rolling bicentennials of independence of Latin American republics. The events leading to the Constitution of Cádiz and its implementation throughout the Spanish Empire are closely related to both initial independence movements in Latin America and to their subsequent constitutional practices and texts.1 There are fewer studies concerning the pivotal role the extant Spanish colonial law (derecho indiano) played in these events.2 * Professor of Law and Associate Dean of International & Graduate Studies, FIU College of Law, Miami; Investigador Honorario, Escuela Libre de Derecho, Mexico City, Mexico.

(orig. fr). In Iura Vasconiae, 4, 9-32. Abstract: Military institutions in France are based on two lines of influen- ce, the first is the Roman heritage, and the second is based on the contributions from Germanic traditions of peoples coming from eastern Europe. If the feudal army was constituted essentially by vassals, troops posted in the frontiers (limes) and mercenaries, at the end of the 18th century this army was to transform itself into a modern institution under the aegis of the Monarchy. In order to carry out such a transformation, financial commitments were needed, as were alterations in its concept, recruitment and regulation. Keywords: France. Feudal army. Modern army. Monarchy.

Known as the “Argentine Revolution,” Onganía’s regime (1966-70) was, the article shows, one of the first Cold War Latin American dictatorship to overtly use Francoist ideology as its point of reference. While building on the conventional wisdom that the legacies of the Spanish Civil War informed right-wing thought in Latin America, the study then shifts its focus to Spain’s 1960s “economic miracle” and technocratic state model, observing them as a prominent discursive toolkit for authoritarian Argentine intellectuals. Drawing on newly discovered correspondence and archival sources, the article first excavates the intellectual networks operating between Franco’s Spain and the Argentine right during the 1950s and 1960s. Once handpicked by Onganía to design his regime, these Argentine Franco-sympathizers were to decide the character of the Argentine Revolution. Second, the article sheds light on the intimate collaboration between the two dictatorships, and further explores the reasons for Onganía’s downfall.
