La dinámica política en Portugal entre mediados del siglo XVI y los primeros años del Setecientos constituye el foco de los estudios aquí reunidos. La trayectoria portuguesa se examina en constante interacción con la de la Monarquía Hispánica, colocando en primer plano el análisis de la circulación de personas, ideas y modelos políticos, especialmente en la Península Ibérica, pero sin olvidar el espacio atlántico. Entre los temas abordados destacan: las Cortes, la representación y la participación política; las implicaciones constitucionales del ceremonial cortesano; las fronteras entre público y privado en el espacio palaciego; la condición política de Portugal en el marco de la Monarquía Hispánica; el imaginario imperial y el estatus de los territorios de ultramar, y, por último, la participación portuguesa en la Guerra de Sucesión. A través de la interpretación de una serie de episodios cargados de tensión, conflicto, emulación, mimetismo y complicidad, estos estudios contribuyen a una historia conectada del mundo ibérico, atenta a la constitución mutua de sus diversas partes.--

Having succeeded in establishing themselves in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, in the early 16th century Spain and Portugal became the first imperial powers on a worldwide scale. Between 1580 and 1640, when these two entities were united, they achieved an almost global hegemony, constituting the largest political force in Europe and abroad. Although they lost their political primacy in the seventeenth century, both monarchies survived and were able to enjoy a relative success until the early 19th century. The aim of this collection is to answer the question how and why their cultural and political legacies persist to date.Part I focuses on the construction of the monarchy, examining the ways different territories integrated in the imperial network mainly by inquiring to what extent local political elites maintained their autonomy, and to what a degree they shared power with the royal administration. Part II deals primarily with the circulation of ideas, models and people, observing them as they move in space but also as they coincide in the court, which was a veritable melting pot in which the various administrations that served the Kings and the various territories belonging to the monarchy developed their own identities, fought for recognition, and for what they considered their proper place in the global hierarchy. Part III explains the forms of dependence and symbiosis established with other European powers, such as Genoa and the United Provinces. Attempting to reorient the politics of these states, political and financial co-dependence often led to bad economic choices.

Showcasing texts by Portuguese and Luso-Brazilian authors, this volume demonstrates the wealth of the political thought of early modern Portugal and its empire. Gathering together important texts on social order, government, and politics by authors who made a significant contribution to the development of early modern Portugal, it demonstrates that Portugal was the setting for vibrant political debate, often shaped by, and emerging in response to, very particular assumptions, circumstances, and concerns. Combining a chronological approach with in-depth thematic sections, the book explores how some controversies that took place in Portugal centred on themes similar to those in other European countries, while others were linked to the specific nature and history of the Portuguese monarchy and its interactions with other polities. It thus offers an overview of the main debates on politics and government and contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the multifaceted history of European political ideas.
