| Crynodeb: | Historians have usually seen the European Community as a natural place for Spain to be and not as a party with its own interests and rules, different from those of the governments in Madrid. In this article we will refocus the analysis of Spain’s integration to link it to the broader history of EU enlargement, which in turn was highly influenced by the internal situation of each member state. If the social, economic and political changes in Spain after Franco’s death conditioned the approach, objectives and strategies of its European partners, so too did the delicate international economic scenario of the 1970s, the dialectics of the Cold War and the electoral calendars in several countries. All that in addition to the permanent clash of interests between supranational institutions and the European Council. |
