The Oxford Handbook of Spanish Politics provides a comprehensive and comparative overview of the Spanish political system through the lens of political science. It aims to move away from a complacent analysis of Spanish democracy and provide a nuanced view of some of its strengths and challenges. The Handbook introduces Spanish politics to an international audience of scholars and practitioners. It is structured around six sections that cover Spain's political history, institutional changes, elections, civil society, policy-making, and foreign affairs. The volume brings together a distinguished group of 47 internationally renowned scholars who study Spain in its own right, or as a case among others in a comparative perspective. The contributors provide expert accounts of contemporary Spain, making the Oxford Handbook of Spanish Politics an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Spanish politics and government since the country's transition to democracy. "With contributions by leading scholars, in the tradition of the Oxford Handbooks, this precious volume offers an in-depth, sophisticated and critical view of Spanish politics, its achievements and challenges." -- Donatella Della Porta, Professor of Political Science and Dean of the Institute for Humanities and the Social Sciences, Scuola Normale Superiore, Florence. "The information that the editors and authors of the Oxford Handbook of Spanish Politics share with us is truly up-to-date, comprehensive in its range, and encyclopaedic in its depth. I cannot think of a better point of entry today to understand and study Spanish politics." -- Carles Boix, Robert Garrett Professor of Politics and Public Affairs, Department of Politics at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University. "This is a remarkable collection of thought-provoking contributions about the most important themes within the study of Spanish politics today. The breadth and depth of the contributions make the Oxford Handbook of Spanish Politics simply a must-read for scholars and students interested in contemporary Spain." -- Catherine E. De Vries, Professor of Politics, Department of Social and Political Sciences, Bocconi University, Milan. "Anyone seeking to understand the ever more complex and murky labyrinth of Spanish politics will be deeply grateful to have as their vade mecum this wide-ranging and perceptive Oxford Handbook." -- Paul Preston, Príncipe de Asturias Professor of Contemporary Spanish Studies and Director of the Cañada Blanch Centre for Contemporary Spanish Studies, London School of Economics.
