Modelos de monarquía en el proceso de afirmación nacional de España, 1808-1923

Abstract

The mechanisms that ensured the success of the Monarchies during their adaptation to the nation state in other European countries were not of equal importance in Spain. According to the authors, any explanation of this difference should pay attention to the outbreak of a strong political national identity in Spain – following the liberal revolution – which did not meet as counterpart a broadly accepted monarchism. Instead different competing models of understanding monarchy came in. Since all of them showed a limited ability to gain agreement, some “default” or “silent republicanism” was favoured in the long term. The king’s leading role in the early twentieth century was, therefore, a rather fresh and controversial phenomenon.
