No sales allowed For John Brademas, James Fernández, John Healey and all the staff of the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Centre, New York University, and my polymathic friend, Felipe Fernández-Armesto “There are no permanent alliances, only permanent interests.” LORD PALMERSTON, British Foreign Secretary, 1849 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This is the third book I have written for the Elcano Royal Institute. It aims to cover the investment, trade, defence, political and cultural aspects of the relationship between Spain and the United States. The first chapter, unlike that of the previous two books, sets the scene by recounting more than 500 years of history between the two nations. I believe the reader needs this historical perspective, albeit in a condensed form, to fully appreciate the many complexities of the relationship and what is happening today. This book also exists in Spanish, published by Ariel. I would like to thank Emilio Lamo de Espinosa, Elcano’s former director, for commissioning the book, and Gustavo Suárez Pertierra, the new president, and Gil Carlos Rodríguez Iglesias, the new director, for continuing the project. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance from the following people: Carlos Alberdi, Gayle Allard, Glynis Andrews, José María de Areilza Carvajal, Alfonso Armada, Mario Armero, Miguel de Avendaño, Whitney Baird, Rafael Bardají, Eva Barrionuevo, Fabia Buenaventura, Álvaro Calleja Crespo, Óscar Calvo-González, Manuel de la Cámara, Emilio Cassinello, Peter Cheek, Leslie Crawford, Reginald Dale, Thomas Dauterman, for copiously editing the manuscript, Guillermo de la Dehesa, Lorenzo Delgado, Francis and Patricia Dobbs, Juan Manuel Egea, Carlos Fernández-Lerga, Humberto Figarola, Richard Figueroa, Manuel Flecha, Emilio García, Jacinto García- Díez, Eduardo Garrigues, Richard Gillespie, Carmen González López-Briones, Sarah and Diana Graizbord, Fernando Gutiérrez Junquera, Inmaculada de Habsburgo, Lloyd Hand, Gonzalo de las Heras, Santiago Íñiguez, Silvia Iranzo, Gabriel Jackson, Harold James, John Law, Florencio López Navarro, Carlos Malamud, Edward Malefakis, Jaime Malet, José María Marín Quemada, Ángel Martín Acebes, Jesús de Miguel, José Morales, Edward Mortimer, Antonio Muñoz Molina, Alberto Nadal, James Nealon, Robin Niblett, Andrés Ortega, Jaime Otero, María Jesús Pablos, Rafael Pampillón, Rosa Pardo, Sofía Pérez, Mary Jean Riley, Laura Rohan, Sebastián Royo, 6 SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES Xavier Ruiz, Aitana Sánchez Gijón, Ignacio Santillana, Raúl Santoro, Fidel Sendagorta, Eduardo Subirats, Julio Tascón, Gabriel Tortella, Carolina Turba, Laura Turégano, José Luis del Valle, Fernando Vallespín, Tunku Varadarajan, Jim Wilson, Stephen Wright and Juan Antonio Yáñez-Barnuevo. My youngest son, Benjamin, helped to prepare one of the appendices, and his brother, Tomás, came to the rescue when I got myself into a muddle on the computer. I would like to thank Antonio Garrigues for inviting me to speak at the 10th anniversary meeting of the Spain-US Council in Seville. I would also like to acknowledge the generous assistance provided by the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Centre at New York University, which invited me to the Centre so that I could conduct some research in the United States. Lastly, the following people read all or parts of the book and made comments: Javier Rupérez, Spain’s ambassador to the United States (2000-2004) under the second government of the Popular Party; Carlos Westendorp, the current ambassador to the United States under the Socialist government; Tom Burns; Jaime Carvajal; Mauro Guillén; Paul Isbell, Elcano’s Senior Analyst, International Economy; Manuel Moreno; Charles Powell, Elcano’s Assistant Director of Research and Analysis; Lidia del Pozo and Luis de Velasco. Last, but not least, it was a pleasure to work again with Pilar Tena, Elcano’s Assistant Director for Institutional Relations.

    EL 23-F DOS DÉCADAS DESPUÉS: APUNTES Y RECUERDOS Vicente Camarena, Jesús González y Verónica Sierra Universidad de Alcalá de Henares 0. Introducción Dentro de unos meses se cumplirán veinte años desde que un grupo de guar- dias civiles, al mando de un incalificable personaje, entraron en el Congreso con la intención de secuestrar la voluntad de los representantes de los españo- les. El mundo entero pudo ver las imágenes captadas por la televisión e inclu- so, en la actualidad, se pueden observar los impactos de los proyectiles en el techo del hemiciclo. El presente trabajo de investigación pretende acercarse, a través de una serie de testimonios orales y escritos, a la percepción que algunos ciudadanos españoles tuvieron de aquellos momentos y a su recuerdo actual de los acontecimientos en los que estuvieron en juego, además de las reformas democráticas emprendidas, el pro- pio futuro en libertad que una gran mayoría de los españoles habíamos decidido concedernos después de una larga noche de tinieblas que duró casi cuarenta años. El objetivo fundamental es, por tanto, recordar y recordarnos aquellos días de zozobra de un sistema todavía incipiente al que acechaban enormes peligros, des- tacando las causas y consecuencias que rodearon el intento frustrado de golpe de estado. Las fuentes utilizadas han sido, por una parte, testimonios orales elabora- Carlos Navajas Zubeldia (ed.), Actas del III Simposio de Historia Actual.

Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Martti Ahtisaari, Joschka Fischer and Mabel van Oranje. • a physical presence in the main EU member states. ECFR, uniquely among European think-tanks, has offices in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome and Sofia. In the future ECFR plans to open offices in Warsaw and Brussels.

  • Justice in Times of Transition: Lessons from the Iberian Experience
    Center for European Studies Working Paper Series #173 (2009) Justice in Times of Transition: Lessons from the Iberian Experience Omar G. Encarnación Professor and Chair of Political Studies Bard College Division of Social Studies Annandale-on-Hudson, New York 12504 E-mail – [email protected] Abstract A key contention of the transitional justice movement is that the more comprehensive and vigorous the effort to bring justice to a departed authoritarian regime the better the democratizing outcome will be. This essay challenges this view with empirical evidence from the Iberian Peninsula. In Portugal, a sweeping policy of purges intended to cleanse the state and society of the authoritarian past nearly derailed the transition to democracy by descending into a veritable witch-hunt. In Spain, by contrast, letting bygones be bygones, became a foundation for democratic consolidation. These counter-intuitive examples suggest that there is no pre-ordained outcome to transitional justice, and that confronting an evil past is neither a requirement nor a pre-condition for democratization. This is primarily because the principal factors driving the impulse toward justice against the old regime are political rather than ethical or moral. In Portugal, the rise of transitional justice mirrored the anarchic politics of the revolution that lunched the transition to democracy. In Spain, the absence of transitional justice reflected the pragmatism of a democratic transition anchored on compromise and consensus. It is practically an article of faith that holding a departed authoritarian regime accountable for its political crimes through any of the available political and legal means is a pre-requisite for nations attempting to consolidate democratic rule.

  • Capítulo VI. El Centro Superior De Información De La Defensa (CESID)
    Los Servicios Secretos en España | E_Books UCM, 2008 Capítulo VI. El Centro Superior de Información de la Defensa (CESID). Del SECED al CESID En los últimos días de la primavera de 1977 el vicepresidente para asuntos de la defensa Gutiérrez Mellado convocó a Andrés Cassinello y al teniente general Manuel Vallespín, jefe de la división de inteligencia del Alto Estado Mayor, y les transmitió la decisión del gobierno de fundir sus dos organizaciones en una sola. El 14 de julio de 1977 se creaba oficialmente el CESID con su publicación en el BOE. El 2 de noviembre de 1977 el BOE publicaba las finalidades del CESID donde en su artículo uno especificaba claramente que "atendería prioritariamente las necesidades de la Junta de Jefes del Estado Mayor”. La vigilancia e información militar quedaban expresamente fuera de sus cometidos 1. Los militares mantenían ciertas reticencias hacia sus compañeros del SECED pensando que podían haberse contagiado del ambiente civil en que se desenvolvían, así que se reservaban ciertas atribuciones..... Un real decreto de enero de 1984 les pasaba a definir como un órgano de información del presidente del gobierno y del ministro de defensa sin cambiar nada de lo publicado en el BOE de 14 de julio y el posterior del 2 de noviembre de 1977. Sería elegido para dirigir el centro el general de artillería Luis Bourgón López-Dóriga. El servicio exterior y de contrainteligencia quedaría al mando del comandante Florentino Ruiz Platero, procedente del Estado Mayor de la Defensa, y la secretaría general quedaría en manos del teniente coronel Javier Calderón, un militar de la Corona.
