• Sommario/riassunto: This book commemorates the bicentenary of the landmark Spanish Constitution of 1812. Drafted by Spanish and colonial Spanish American liberals (and non-liberals) holed up in Cadiz as Napoleon's troops occupied the surrounding hills, this war-time Constitution set out radically to redefine 'the Spanish nation' for a new age. In the event, it divided Spaniards and threw into sharp relief the question of Spain's legitimacy in her American colonies. Cadiz 1812 is a defining moment in the modern history of the Spanish-speaking world.Bringing together specialists in the history, politics and culture

• Sommario/riassunto: How do parties adapt to an environment characterised by the rejection of intermediate bodies? They both offer members more opportunity for direct and online participation and strengthen their leadership. By proposing an innovative framework for the analysis of disintermediation in politics, and through an in-depth examination of the inner workings of two Italian parties (the Partito Democratico and the Movimento 5 Stelle), this book shows both how these trends are connected and the ways in which the promise of unmediated intra-party relationships lead to the emergence of new forms of intermediation.
