The Peaceful Transition of Spain How Authoritarianism Became Democracy Emma Haiser Lee Honors College: Honors Thesis December 2019 1 Introduction: The peaceful transition from authoritarianism under Francisco Franco to a democratic constitutional monarchy after Franco’s death stands as a critical juncture in modern Spanish history because of the uniqueness of the historical event. The transition occurred without direct foreign intervention to manipulate Spanish politicians into passing democratic legislation; instead, the transition was initiated by Francoist leaders who willingly enacted the regime’s change which undermined their initial place in society. Notably, this transition is unique

    SP “This is the one indispensable handbook on contemporary Spain. In lucid prose, it clearly explains everything one needs to know. It is dazzlingly good on the eco- nomic crisis and the consequent undermining of social cohesion.” AIN — PAUL PRESTON, author of The Spanish Holocaust “Objectivity of viewpoint, mastery of facts, depth of reflection, balance in judgment, economy in expression, and sagacity in selection rarely go together—especially in WH the arena of Spanish historiography.

This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmborj EMERGENT NEW DEMOCRACIES: THE CASE OF SPAIN by Santiago Sanchez Gonzalez* Of special concern to scholars during the last two decades has been the transition of governments of concentrated powers to constitutional democracies. Moreover, the recent events in the Soviet Union and the so-called "Popular Democracies" have kindled a renewed interest in the democratization processes. These new developments, on the other hand, seem to confirm the existence of a steady evolution away from dictatorial rule that not only fosters a certain optimism but that suggests a confluent trend, very much in tune with the united history of mankind we have been living since the middle of this century. One of the most interesting experiments in the access to democracy is doubtless the Spanish one. To be sure, Spain had enjoyed a full-fledged constitutional regime under the Second Republic from 1931 to 1936, and in that sense, one should properly speak of a return to democracy. However, the fact that the democratic regime was followed by a cruel civil war and almost forty years of dictatorship made this experience something exceptional, especially because of its peaceful character.
