Fascistization and fascism: Spanish dynamics in a Eeuropean process
More LessThis article defends the hypothesis that the regime built during the Spanish Civil War should be included within the historical category of fascism. The concept of fascistization is used to examine the evolution of the radical right wing and its convergence into a Spanish fascism that culminated in a civil war. This concept answers the main objections commonly held regarding the fascist nature of the regime that began in 1936: namely the minority standing of the Spanish fascist party, the existence of heterogeneous components in the movement that led to the civil war, a dictatorship that relied upon traditional segments of society to establish hegemony and the irreconcilable relationship between fascism and the essentially catholic nature of the new regime. Here it is shown that such objections can also be launched against other regimes usually considered fascist and that fascistization was not an alternative to, but rather the implementation of fascism under the conditions defining Spain in the 1930s.

Fascism and violence in Spain: Aa comparative update
More LessFascism in Spain? Almost no historian has spoken of fascism in Franco’s Spain without denying it altogether, modifying conceptual boundaries or adding terminological parameters (para-, proto-, pseudo-, -ized). Yet, it is just possible that something is not being handled correctly. In this article, through a critical review of some of the central features in the field of historical interpretation of fascism, comparative analysis is employed to re-examine the current characterization of the Franco regime and to identify it as fascist during the civil war and immediate post-war period. In examining some of the latest historiographical debates and advances, this article proposes a coherent reading of Spanish fascism. In this sphere historiography does seem to be in agreement: violence and its contexts occupy a central position in the analysis of fascism. Violence, institutionalization and context are some of the theoretical issues that aim to re-evaluate the position of Franc's Spain within the European family of Fascism.
