The Second Republic in Spain (I931-36) witnessed a process of working class radicalization which the conservative classes were ill-equipped to face. The radicalization was not of recent origin; the lack of a suitable conservative posture was. When the normal political mechanism had been found incapable of dealing with social and economic unrest in I917 recourse was had to the army; the crisis found its resolution in the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, which anaesthetized the situation for nearly seven years. When Primo fell, conservatives could turn only to the derelict 'historic' parties. Now, deprived of the machinery of caciquismo (electoral rigging) and resentful of the treatment accorded them by the dictator, the old politicans had neither the power nor the will to resume their former function.1
