“This book written by some of the best Spanish scholars on leadership is the first one covering systematically -and successfully- one of the more significant topics regarding the return to democracy in Spain.” -Miguel Jerez-Mir, Professor of Political Science, Universidad de Granada, Spain and former Prince of Asturias Chair at Georgetown University
“The transition to democracy in Spain was, as Linz said, a ‘negotiated reform-negotiated break’ and, consequently, political leaders played a key role. In this regard, a study of the Spanish transition about the role of leaders is a necessary and definitive approach for the most serious and profound understanding of a transformation that has had so many consequences for the Spanish democracy.” – Leonardo Morlino, Professor of Political Science, Libera Universitá Internazionale degli Studi Sociali (LUISS) Guido Carli, Rome, Italy. First Italian President of the International Political Science Association (IPSA)
“The authors give a new and suggestive interpretation of the Spanish transition to democracy (1975-82) based on a comparative analysis of their main leaders personal and political profiles.” – Josep Maria Vallès is Professor of Political Science and former Rector of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. First Dean (1985-1990) of the Faculty of Political Science and Sociology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
“The study of political leadership encompasses many contextual and structural factors-and it requires careful analysis of individual leaders who help shape and are shaped by those factors. With this significant new book, Professors Jiménez-Díaz and Delgado-Fernández make a valuable and necessary contribution to comprehending Spain’s transition to democracy (1975-82). They have assembled a collection of important analytical and narrative chapters that will allow readers to understand the political leaders whose strategies and decisions were vital in the Transition. These studies of political leaders should be read by all who want to comprehend the lives of many who shaped a modern democratic Spain.” – Douglas A. Hicks is Professor in the religion department and Senior Advisor for Academic Initiatives at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, USA“A book that makes a difference due to their inclusive and suggestive perspective for studying the political leaders who guided the Spanish transition to democracy.” – Antonio Natera-Peral is Associate Professor of Political Science and Public Administration at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain
