The Iberian Customs Union, 1945-1977: a metaphor of an impossible union
Keywords:
Iberismo, mercado común, integración económica, nacionalismo, dictaduraAbstract
The idea of a Customs Union has always been part of the symbolic and imaginary universe of Iberianism, as a project for a politically unified Iberian Peninsula. Even if in the nineteenth century, this Iberianism became a dynamic of convergence, however, it did not lead to any concrete results; in the case of Portugal, the project was never more than an elitist and unpopular proposition, linked to the modernization failures and the frequent crises of national identity. The dictatorships of Franco and Salazar were a structural break in the relationship between the two countries that allowed the resurgence of the ideas of an Iberian common market. The replacement of the concept of Iberianism for that ofpeninsular alliance opened a new possibility in the frame of the Salazar´s increasing nationalism. But, in any case, the lack of maturity of the Spanish and Portuguese backward economies and other conjuctural factors broke down that possibility as well.Downloads
