Meeting organised by the IHC, the University of Cádiz, and the Asociación de Historia Actual about the role of the radical left in the Iberian revolutions and transitions.

Iberian radical left, revolutionary and democratic transition
process — breaking and consensus. Comparative perspectives

In the 1970s, when the Iberian dictatorships were over, the constellation of small organizations to the left of the communist parties brought together the intelligence and wills of a generation born in the second post-war, in times of cold war and the development of capitalism and consumer society. They were deeply sectarian and dogmatic, predominantly student-based organizations, ranging from agitation to doctrinairism, accentuating disagreements and multiplying in small and large divisions. The fall of the Iberian dictatorships gave them processes of reconfiguration and growth that allowed them an intervention that has been historically devalued. This Colloquium seeks to re-examine, in a comparative perspective, its role in the processes of democratic transition.
