La Furia of ‘29
The Spanish national football team played a series of matches in the spring of 1929 against Portugal, France, and England, winning all three and handing England its first ever loss to a team from outside the British Isles. Sevilla’s game anchored an International Exhibition, Zaragoza’s built connections between it and France, and Madrid’s asserted a successful national identity at a neutral facility. Collectively, they offered a moment of interna…
Introducing the Symposium on Mobilizing Interest Groups in America
A Team of Our Own
To validate the field, early sports historians often delved into topics with overt connections to politics and class on the national level. However, sub-national groups also use sport and this paper attempts to identify how they have done so in Spain throughout the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and across multiple competitive activities. On the regional level, Catalonia and the Basque Country have long used sports organizations to de…

Founders, foundations and early identities
This essay considers football's development in Barcelona in its first generation from 1898 through the 1910s and how it was shaped by the regional, national, religious and foreign identities of its participants and the activity itself. It starts with the foundations of F.C. Barcelona and F.C. Catalá, the different stories about how this happened, and the role played by Protestant Hans Gamper in Catholic Barcelona. The second section focuses on th…
Sport’s growth in Barcelona and Catalonia from the 1890s to 1920
This essay looks at the early growth of sport in Barcelona from the 1890s through 1920 including gymnastics, cycling, water sports, excursionism and more with the exception of football. The first part discusses the development of the groups that patronized these sports in reasonable detail to give a clear idea of the non-football societies that developed and what some of their connections to the larger social world of the city were. The second se…
The Nuts and Bolts of Church Planting
The Importance of Reception
This paper considers the reception and growth of sport in Spain in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a period during which the new activity developed from a novelty into part of the national culture. I focus on who exactly gravitated to sport and why, to explain this growth and ground that explanation in the larger national and regional history. Several factors and early groups spurred Spanish interest in sport including the move…
Spanish Sport and the Challenges of Its Recent Historiography
This article strives to bring together the diverse strands of literature on the role and development of sport in Spain to provide a resource for future scholars. The first section briefly surveys the history of Spanish sport over the course of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including bullfighting because of its symbolic importance. The middle section focuses on the historiography of sport and especially bullfighting, football, and t…
Interest Group Theory
This article considers the four steps of interest group theory as it applies to American politics: group theory; Robert Dahl's pluralism; multiple elitist theory; and neopluralism. Participation in interest groups is seen to be one of four standard modes of participation in American politics. The interest group in niche theory is viewed in the context of other similar interest groups and its competition with them for resources of money and member…
Building a Mass Activity
Between 1910 and 1925, Spanish football grew from a middle‐class amusement into a massive popular activity, a change rooted in the creation of a working‐class fan base that simply had not existed before. This essay will explore how that fan base developed and the changes that made working‐class participation practical. Clubs created clear identities to whip up passion and draw supporters from the local community. This interest was supported by lo…
Neopluralism
Neopluralism is one of a class of research findings or social science models—such as elitism, pluralism, and corporatism—that refer to the structure of power and policy making in some domain of public policy. Originating from Robert Dahl's pluralism model in Who Governs? (1961), neopluralism evolved in the study of American politics through discarding or modifying some of Dahl's ideas, while adding new concerns about agenda building, the logic of…
Ricardo Zamora
One of the most famous icons in pre‐Civil War Spain was the football goalkeeper Ricardo Zamora. Between 1920 and 1936, football grew rapidly into a mass entertainment industry that rivalled bullfighting, and it was Zamora who presided over this change as the period’s most famous player. His background lay in the rich athletic culture of early‐twentiethcentury Barcelona and his youth reflected the social divisions within that vibrant community. Du…
Social Movements and American Political Institutions
Interest Groups and Political Time
This article seeks to delineate a general theory of interest-group dynamics in America since 1890. Interest groups are seen to act in issue areas which cycle through phases of business control to reform activity and back again. Economic producer groups have a more stable incentive to participate in issue-area decision making than the reform groups that challenge their control. However, after a few years of the business-control phase of the cycle,…
Interest Groups and Theories of Power in America
Three models of interest groups, power and political process in America are contrasted: (1) the Truman-Dahl-Lindblom pluralism of the 1960s; (2) the unfinished plural elitism of the 1970s, a theory emphasizing special-interest capture of policy systems whose most influential exponent is Lowi; (3) the ‘triadic’ model of process set forth by Wilson inThe Politics of Regulation. The triadic model assumes the normality in policy systems of organized …
