Its mainland is bordered to the South and East by the Mediterranean Sea; to the North by France, Andorra, and the Bay of Biscay; and to the Northwest and West by the Atlantic Ocean and Portugal. The surface of Spain covers 85% of the Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with Portugal. Africa is less than 15 km South of the Strait of Gibraltar, which is British, by the way! A broad central plateau slopes to the South and East, crossed by a series of mountain Politics_ ranges and river valleys. Off Spain's East coast in the Mediterranean are the Balearic Spain is a democracy organised in the form of a parliamentary government under a Islands, the largest of which is Majorca. 97 km West of Morocco are the Canary constitutional monarchy, composed of 17 autonomous communities and two Islands. Its highest peaks are Teide (3,718 m), on the island of Tenerife; Mulhacén autonomous cities (Ceuta and Melilla) with varying degrees of autonomy. (3,478 m), in Granada; and Aneto (3,404 m), in the Pyrenees. The coasts have very diverse outlines, as they belong to different climatic systems and are surrounded by 5 different seas and oceans. 6 Culture_ There is a variety of cultural elements depending on which autonomous comunity, but CATALONIA also on wich region.

  • Evidence from the 1609 Spanish Expulsion of the Moriscos∗
    Economic Dynamics in the Malthusian Era: Evidence from the 1609 Spanish Expulsion of the Moriscos∗ Short title: Economic Dynamics in the Malthusian Era Eric Chaney and Richard Hornbeck May 2015 Abstract We investigate economic dynamics in the Malthusian era using the 1609 expulsion of Moriscos from Spain. Sharp population declines in former-Morisco districts were ac- companied by decreased output and increased per capita output. While these short-run results are consistent with standard Malthusian predictions, Malthusian convergence was delayed through 1786 in former-Morisco districts. Archival sources and historical accounts suggest extractive institutions and cultural differences may have contributed to delayed convergence in population and output per capita. This historic episode provides an unusually rich setting to examine Malthusian dynamics, highlighting the potential for sustained differences in per capita output in the Malthusian era. For the millennia prior to the demographic transition, models of economic growth focus on capturing \Malthusian dynamics." In this Malthusian era, technological growth or popu- lation declines are predicted to cause temporary increases in output per capita that dissipate as population grows and the land-to-labor ratio declines. Scholars have generally found empirical support for the traditional Malthusian predic- tions. In a recent contribution, Ashraf and Galor (2011) show that both land productivity and technology were historically related to population density rather than income per capita. Impacts of the European Black Death are also consistent with this framework (e.g., Phelps- Brown and Hopkins, 1981; Hatcher, 1996; Clark, 2005), although population and wages appear to converge slowly following this large population shock. ∗Eric Chaney, [email protected], Littauer Center, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, 02138.

  • The New Configuration of the Valencian Party System. an Institutional Approach
    https://doi.org/10.29101/crcs.v25i77.9200 The new configuration of the Valencian party system. An institutional approach María Ángeles Abellán-López / [email protected] http://orcid.org/0000-0002-6553-0227 Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche, España Gonzalo Pardo-Beneyto / [email protected] http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7142-1740 Universidad de Alicante, España Abstract: The main objective of this article is to explain the evolution of the party system of the Valencian Community (Spain) between 1978 and 2015. We will start from a historical neo-institutionalist approach and a methodology focused on historical analysis (path dependence and critical junctures). It will be centered on the changes produced in political parties, in terms of the Valencian cartelization and identity and its present position. This way, three working sub-hypotheses are to be explained: H1a: parties have had a continuity dynamic that has changed due to abrupt changes in the environment; H1b: political forces have taken advantage of these events to obtain electoral revenue and; H1c: current political parties are the result of changes experienced in the period studied. This complex hypothesis opens new fields of study for future research in terms of strategy, discourse and perceptions about these organizations. Key words: party system, institutionalism, cartelization, identity, Valencian community. Resumen: El objetivo del artículo es explicar la evolución del sistema de partidos de la Comunitat Valenciana (España) entre 1978 y 2015.

  • The Rise of Spain
    The Rise of Spain While southern and central Spain were under Arab rule, small, independent Christian states like Aragon*, Navarre*, Catalonia* or Castile* had survived the Muslim expansion in the shelter of the Pyrenees*. When the Christian sense of mission grew at the time of the Crusades*, it also showed effects on these states in the north of Spain. Freeing the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim control came 5 to be seen as a religious deed. Powered by this motivation and supported by struggles among leading Arab families, Christian reconquest (=the Reconquista) turned into a successful movement. Of course, the expulsion of the Arabs left space for new powers, so religious zeal was combined with political motives from the start. A brilliant example of this is Rodrigo Diaz, called “El Cid” (=Arabic for “Lord”). This marvellous knight had played a crucial role in the conquest of the important Arab city of 10 Toledo* in 1095. Soon after, however, he entered the Moors’ service because they granted him the lands he had conquered. In this way, El Cid was able to create his own kingdom of Valencia* on the east coast of Spain. However, soon after his death, Valencia’s military strength crumbled and the kingdom was integrated into Aragon. On the other hand, other newly developing kingdoms of the Reconquista proved to be long lasting. The best example is Portugal. In 1139, Alfonso proclaimed 15 himself king after he had inflicted a decisive victory on the Muslims in the battle of Ourique in the southwest of Spain. Originally, Alfonso had only been Count of Portucale* and a vassal to the king of Castile.
