Mission Impossible?
This British Academy funded research project led by Georgina Blakeley seeks to explain an unexpected political outcome: why Francoist deputies voted overwhelmingly for the 1976 Law for Political Reform which brought about their own political demise.
The successful passage of the Law, widely seen as the first step in the Spanish transition to democracy, will be explained through an analysis of the strategic manoeuvring of Torcuato Fernández-Miranda, the author of the Law and a qualitative analysis of the three days of discussion of the Law in the plenary of the Francoist Parliament.
