Ponencias del II Congreso Internacional Redes y Espacios de Poder de la Comunidad Irlandesa en España y la América Española. In recent years historians have highlighted the influential role of foreigners in early modern Spain. Immigrant groups established complex family networks which were transnational in character and operated in many different areas of influence and authority. In the case of the Irish community it is possible to trace their efforts to permeate these ‘spaces of power’ in both Spain and its territories in the New World. In turn an understanding of the role of ‘los irlandeses’ offers important insights into the nature of political, cultural, military and diplomatic authority within both the Spanish Monarchy and the society that underpinned it in the Old World and the Americas. This book therefore sets out to answer a fascinating and crucial question: How did a‘tiny’ community of Irish exiles come ‘to be visible’ in the sprawling empire of the Habsburgs? This volume examines the strategies used by the Irish in order to achieve an entirely disproportionate level of influence in key power spaces such as the state bureaucracy, the royal court, the army and navy, as well as their contribution to international trade and Spanish culture as a whole. The volume consists of 20 contributions divided into 5 themes: Teoretical Framework; Spaces of Power: Court and Monarchy; Army and Commerce; The Role of Women and, finally, Networks of Power in Spanish America. This volume builds upon the findings published in Ireland and the Iberian Atlantic: Mobility, Involvement and Cross-Cultural Exchange (1580–1823), edited by Igor Pérez Tostado and Enrique García Hernán (Valencia, 2010). Power Strategies: Spain and Ireland 1600–1825 is the third book publishedin the series entitled Spanish History from an International perspective. It is the fruit of collaboration between The Council for Spanish-Irish Historical Studies established by the Spanish National Council for Scientifc Research (CSIC), the Spanish Royal Academy of History and the Royal Irish Academy. |
