The Contractual Monarchy of the Iberian World (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This volume analyzes the Spanish monarchy as a political construction grounded in negotiation and as a balance of power across multiple institutional spheres. Focusing on the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the volume examines the contractual character of the Spanish monarchy as a confederate polity shaped by an unwritten constitutional framework that enabled legal pluralism and broad political participation in empire-building. The essays explore negotiations between royal power and local authorities, conflicts of jurisdiction, and challenges to central authority across the empire. Covering the Mediterranean, the Americas, and India and the Philippines, the volume highlights how various processes of negotiation sustained the Spanish imperial system.
