Spain and the Mediterranean Since 1898

"This is the first collection of articles in English devoted to Spain's relations with the Mediterranean countries in the twentieth century. It focuses on Spain's shift of emphasis from Latin America to the Mediterranean basin after the loss of its last colonies in the New World in 1898 (Cuba and Puerto Rica). The contributors analyse the Mediterranean policy of Spain's different regimes: the Bourbon monarchy, Primo de Rivera's dictatorship, the Second Republic, Francoism, and post-Franco democracy."--Jacket.
