The Spanish Frustration

How a Ruinous Empire Thwarted the Nation-State

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Old troubles persist in modern Spain, including huge public debts, extensive corruption, widespread unlawfulness, oligarchical politics, territorial splits, and permanent protests and riots. The origins of these problems are remote: the ruinous Spanish Empire made a weak state, which built an incomplete nation, which sustains a minority democracy. "The Spanish Frustration" provides an interpretation of several important aspects of present-day Spain and its past stories.
