The emergence of citizenship and new constitutional cultures, the movement of slaves and political exiles across national borders, and shifting imperial dynamics are but a small sample of world phenomena in which Spain played a decisive yet still underexplored role.By focusing on Spain, the book provides a fresh look at Europe's dynamic interactions with the wider world that moves beyond traditional 'Great Powers' analyses. In doing so, Iberian Crossroads is both a bold reinterpretation of Spain's past and a powerful call to rethink how we write global history--amplifying the voices of Europe's so-called 'peripheral' powers.Historians of modern Europe and global history alike will find in this book a compelling invitation to rethink Spain's place in the modern world.

Pol Dalmau works on the history of modern Spain from a global perspective. He obtained his doctorate from the European University Institute in Florence and subsequently held a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Leibniz Institute for European History in Mainz. His first monograph analyzed the crisis of liberal politics in Southern Europe through the trajectory of the Godó family, the journalistic, political, and business dynasty behind La Vanguardia, Catalonia's leading newspaper. His current research seeks to reconceptualize modern Spain by engaging with key debates in global history.Jorge Luengo He is a historian of modern Spain with a research focus on European, Atlantic, and global perspectives. After earning his PhD from the European University Institute in 2011, he joined the Leibniz Institute for European History in Mainz as a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow. In his book Una sociedad conyugal, he offered a comparative study of liberal elite formation in Valladolid and Magdeburg, analyzing how urban leadership in Spain and Prussia crafted distinct strategies of power in post-Napoleonic Europe. This research examined the diverse methods of governance adopted by local elites as they navigated the post-revolutionary landscape and the shifting political climates of the early and mid nineteenth century.
