There were no political trials, no truth and reconciliation commissions, no formal attributions of blame, and no apologies. Instead, Spain's national parties negotiated the Pact of Forgetting, an agreement intended to place the bloody Spanish Civil War and the authoritarian excesses of the Franco dictatorship firmly in the past, not to be revisited even in conversation. Formalized by an amnesty law in 1977, this agreement defies the conventional wisdom that considers retribution and reconciliation vital to rebuilding a stable nation. Although not without its dark side, such as the silence imposed upon the victims of the Civil War and the dictatorship, the Pact of Forgetting allowed for the peaceful emergence of a democratic state, one with remarkable political stability and even a reputation as a trailblazer for the national rights and protections of minority groups.Omar G. Encarnación examines the factors in Spanish political history that made the Pact of Forgetting possible, tracing the challenges and consequences of sustaining the agreement until its dramatic reversal with the 2007 Law of Historical Memory. The combined forces of a collective will to avoid revisiting the traumas of a difficult and painful past and the reliance on the reformed political institutions of the old regime to anchor the democratic transition created a climate conducive to forgetting. At the same time, the political movement to forget encouraged the embrace of a new national identity as a modern and democratic European state. Demonstrating the surprising compatibility of forgetting and democracy, Democratization Without Justice in Spain offers a crucial counterexample to the transitional justice movement. The refusal to confront and redress the past did not inhibit the rise of a successful democracy in Spain; on the contrary, by leaving the past behind, Spain chose not to repeat it. 410 0$aPennsylvania studies in human rights. 606 $aDemocratization$zSpain 606 $aTransitional justice$zSpain 606 $aCriminal justice, Administration of$zSpain 607 $aSpain$xPolitics and government$y1975-1982 607 $aSpain$xHistory$yCivil War, 1936-1939$xInfluence 610 $aHuman Rights. 610 $aLaw. 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPublic Policy. 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aTransitional justice 615 0$aCriminal justice, Administration of 676 $a320.946/09047 700 $aEncarnacio?n$b Omar Guillermo$f1962-$01604944 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813407403321 996 $aDemocracy without justice in Spain$93929932 997 $aUNINA
