Opis

Contemporary Spain is a middle power in international affairs and an important actor. It is the 12th largest economy in the world, with the 21st largest army, growing diplomatic reach, and a rich history and culture. This book examines the evolution of Spanish foreign policy since 1975, through five different presidencies, during its transformation from a dictatorial political system and backward economy to a modern European state and the present financial crisis.
