The Barcelona Urban Elite, 1808–1899
This article focuses on the relationship between classical liberal ideology and the Barcelona urban elite between 1808 and 1899. For many historians this question would not be seen as problematic. «Bourgeois» elites are often described as liberals and «bourgeois» and «liberal» culture elided. However, in the Catalan case matters were not so straight forward. While Barcelona big business and wealthy professionals supported key liberal economic and…
Cataluña y la Gran Guerra
En ninguna parte de España tiene la Primera Guerra Mundial más impacto que en Cataluña. En primer lugar, el boom económico provoca una escalada inflacionista y el fortalecimiento de la organización obrera. Segundo, la relación que se establece entre los aliados y el derecho de autodeterminación de las “pequeñas naciones” estimula demandas a favor de la autonomía política y la aparición de corrientes más radicales dentro del movimiento catalanista…
The rise and fall of “respectable” Spanish liberalism, 1808–1923
The article focuses on the reasons behind both the consolidation of what I have termed “respectable” liberalism between the 1830s and the 1840s and its subsequent decline and fall between 1900 and 1923. In understanding both processes I study the links established between “respectable” liberals and propertied elites, the monarchy, and the Church. In the first phase these links served to consolidate the liberal polity. However, they also meant tha…

The Catalan Counter-revolutionary Coalition and the Primo de Rivera Coup, 1917-23
This article focuses on the key role in Catalonia played in the genesis of the military coup by the captain general of Barcelona, Miguel Primo de Rivera, in September 1923. From 1917 the rise of labour agitation and the radicalization of Catalan nationalism precipitated the formation of a counter-revolutionary coalition between the armed forces and right-wing sectors of Catalan society. Along with the military, the coalition took in, on the one h…

Social Conflict and Trade-Union Organisation in the Catalan Cotton Textile Industry, 1890–1914
The article deals with the development of Catalan cotton textile trade unionism between 1890 and 1914. It has been argued that, given the economic difficulties which faced the cotton textile industry, employers were anxious to cut labour costs and unwilling to negotiate with trade unions. Between 1889 and 1891, therefore, they launched an attack on trade-union organisation within the industry. In many rural areas they were able to impose their wi…
