"Una Modernidad Política Iberoamericana" explores the various meanings of political modernity in the Ibero-American history of the 19th century. If the bicentennials of the founding of the republics of Colombia and Peru, of the empires of Mexico and Brazil, and of the outbreak of the liberal revolutions in Spain and Portugal were the original stimulus to start the work, the approach adopted goes beyond the memorial conjuncture and it is part of a broader reflective horizon. It is a matter, then, of demonstrating that political modernity is not only comparable to the revolutionary rupture of 1808, but that the transition between the traditional and revolutionary values that characterized the emergence of national States in the Ibero-American space took place in a space segment -temporal longer.
In addition to re-examining classic themes such as the genesis and impact of the crisis caused by the French invasion of Spain, the political dimension of doceañismo and the pronouncements, or the construction of the national pantheon, the reader has in his hands a volume prepared by a group of historians and writers from Europe and Latin America who address problems that had not been observed through the prism of political modernity: women and the female condition, the economic dimension of political liberalism, the modern updating of conservative thought, the establishment and administration of internal borders, the history of international relations, as well as the articulation of Portugal-Brazil to the Atlantic Revolutions.
