  • The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines
    The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines Dear Country Expert, In this section, we distinguish between the head of state (HOS) and the head of government (HOG). • The Head of State (HOS) is an individual or collective body that serves as the chief public representative of the country; his or her function could be purely ceremonial. • The Head of Government (HOG) is the chief officer(s) of the executive branch of government; the HOG may also be HOS, in which case the executive survey only pertains to the HOS. • The executive survey applies to the person who effectively holds these positions in practice. • The HOS/HOG pair will always include the effective ruler of the country, even if for a period this is the commander of foreign occupying forces. • The HOS and/or HOG must rule over a significant part of the country’s territory. • The HOS and/or HOG must be a resident of the country — governments in exile are not listed. • By implication, if you are considering a semi-sovereign territory, such as a colony or an annexed territory, the HOS and/or HOG will be a person located in the territory in question, not in the capital of the colonizing/annexing country. • Only HOSs and/or HOGs who stay in power for 100 consecutive days or more will be included in the surveys. • A country may go without a HOG but there will be no period listed with only a HOG and no HOS. • If a HOG also becomes HOS (interim or full), s/he is moved to the HOS list and removed from the HOG list for the duration of their tenure.

  • Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth Century Spain: the Education of the Constitutional Monarch
    2020 VII Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth Century Spain: The Education of the Constitutional Monarch Richard Meyer Forsting New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018 Review by: Carolyn Harris Review: Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth Century Spain: The Education of the Constitutional Monarch Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth Century Spain: The Education of the Constitutional Monarch. By Richard Meyer Forsting. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018. ISBN: 978-3-319-75489-5. xv + 261 pp. $99.99. uring the nineteenth century, Spain experienced a period of decline. The country was ravaged by the Peninsular War (1807- 1814) then experienced a series of economic and political crises. D The century came to an end with the loss of Spain’s last overseas possessions in the Caribbean and Pacific regions during the Spanish-American War (1898). During this period, Spain appeared to focus almost exclusively on its own domestic concerns compared to the degree of engagement with the wider world that took place in previous centuries. As a result, Spain often receives little attention in wider histories of nineteenth-century Europe. In Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth Century Spain, Richard Meyer Forsting shows how popular debates concerning the education of the heir to the throne in a constitutional monarchy demonstrate that Spain had not turned inward but continued to engage with the wider intellectual currents of nineteenth-century Europe. Forsting connects the educations of three nineteenth-century Spanish monarchs, Isabel II (r. 1833-1868), Alfonso XII (r. 1874-1885) and Alfonso XIII (r. 1886-1931) to the wider political and cultural trends of the era.
