El colapso del liberalismo en Portugal.

Abstract

This article contradicts most histories of the Portuguese liberal State (1834-1910) in presenting Joao Franco —several times Prime Minister of King D. Carlos between 1890 and 1908— not as a forerunner of Salazar's dictatorship, but as a continuator of liberal traditions. This thesis is based upon a new interpretaron of Portuguese liberal political culture, as well as on a detailed study of the last years of Constitutional Monarchy in Portugal. The author suggests that Portuguese liberalism collapsed due to its own political history, not because of any similarity to the well-known caricature of a parliamentary oligarchy given over to laissez-faire.
