Ruling by Consent: Everyday Life under Franco, 1966 - 1975

这项研究解释了佛朗哥独裁政权在最后十年的相对稳定，展示了它是如何在西班牙大部分人口中获得广泛同意的。通过关注普通公民的日常生活，这篇论文将探讨独裁统治的长寿是否是由于创造了高度的默许，而不是公开的民众支持或对反对者的纯粹暴力。该研究将剖析佛朗哥主义晚期的并行策略，即鼓吹经济繁荣，同时培养一种政治冷漠的文化，以创造一群最终从未挑战独裁统治的遣散人口。

The research accounts for the relative stability of the Franco dictatorship in the last decade of the regime, by demonstrating how it generated widespread consent among large sectors of the Spanish population. By focusing on the everyday life of ordinary citizens, the dissertation will explore whether the dictatorship's longevity was due to the creation of high levels of acquiescence, rather than open popular support or sheer violence against opponents. The research will dissect late Francoism's parallel strategies of trumpeting economic prosperity and of fostering a culture of political apathy to create a demobilised population which, ultimately, never challenged the dictatorship.
