Abstract

This paper analyses conflicts around common forest management in the Comunidad de Albarracín (Teruel, Spain) between 1842 and 1935, contrasting the available evidence with the latest theoretical proposals on environmental conflicts. Disagreements in Albarracín had an evident environmental dimension, but its characterization does not fit in properly with the typology presented by recent works. From this point of view the case of Albarracín invites to keep on studying environmental tensions and disputes from a historical perspective in order to improve our knowledge of them, as well as of their connections with the other dimensions of the disputes.
