The Stability and Consolidation of the Francoist Regime. The Case of Eastern Andalusia, 1936–1950 (original) (raw)

The paper explores the emergence and consolidation of the Francoist regime in Eastern Andalusia between 1936 and 1950, emphasizing the interplay between societal dynamics and state institutions. It argues that the regime's stability was rooted in a shared cultural identity among victors of the Civil War, the repressive mechanisms employed against dissent, and the socio-economic benefits received by supporters. The analysis highlights the creation of an emotional commitment to the regime's ideals and the subsequent silencing of opposition, while drawing on historical references to contextualize its findings.
