How (not) to make a durable stateглава из книги
Аннотация: The great transformations brought by the age of revolution at the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth resulted in the final dismemberment of the composite Hispanic Monarchy (monarquía española) and the emergence of over a dozen new states, which embarked on the process of creating nations.This was not only the case as regards the new republics that arose in the Spanish transatlantic possessions from Mexico to Chile but also with respect to Spain, which had to redefine itself and build a nation on the remains of an empire that still included the islands of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines as well as territories in the mainland with important cultural and linguistic differences such as those found in the Basque country, Galicia and Catalonia.The key question was how to build a durable state.The tendency to study Spain and its American possessions severed from each other, as if they had not been part of the same imperial structure, has resulted in two very distinct and fruitful historiographical traditions, one focused on the Iberian Peninsula and the other concentrated on Hispanic America.Until recently however, only a few studies have aimed to bring together their deeply intertwined history.This has been, in no small measure, due to the interest in Atlantic history, as well as the use of new methodologies less encumbered with borders, such as cultural history.i In the light of such approaches, this essay paints an overarching picture of the rise and fall of the Hispanic Monarchy on both sides of the Atlantic.By looking at shared elements in the longue durée it hopes to shed light on the institutions that shaped the process of nation-building in the period that followed the Napoleonic invasion of Spain.
