Francoism through the Polls. Methodology, Sources and Challenges for an Electoral Approach to Franco’s Regime
Abstract
This article proposes a new perspective to approach the study of the Francoism by using the analysis of the elections to select both the councillors who represented the heads of families at the city councils and the members of the Spanish Cortes who represented the families. To do this, the paper combines both historical methodology and social science one, although prioritizing the first of them, establishing the criteria to be followed to properly define the subject of research and to deepen it. Therefore, the article defines a field of research hitherto little researched by Francoist dictatorship literature and brings together both research and bibliography coming from the historiography as well as the political science.
