Description - Contemporary Spain by Teresa Lawlor

Contemporary Spain provides an accessible single volume introduction to the political, economic and social developments in Spain since 1939. It combines original survey essays in English with authentic extracts from a variety of Spanish sources and specially developed language exercises. The material is located within the theme of modernisation in general, and Europeanisation in particular. The focus is not descriptive or institutional but seeks to relate the material to relevant debates and theoretical issues. Although the focus of the book is Post-Franco Spain, the transition and subsequent developments are placed in a historical context and elements of disjunction and continuity are identified. The politics, economics, education, employment and society of Spain are covered in separate sections, each of which contains: *An extended original essay in English *An extensive selection of texts in Spanish *Language exercises *A bibliographical essay
