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

这项研究解释了佛朗哥独裁政权在过去十年中的相对稳定性，展示了它是如何在西班牙人口的大量阶层中获得广泛认同的。通过关注普通公民的日常生活，这篇论文将探索独裁政权的长寿是否是因为创造了高度的默许，而不是公开的民众支持或纯粹的针对反对者的暴力。这项研究将剖析晚期弗朗索瓦主义宣扬经济繁荣和培养政治冷漠文化以创造最终从未挑战独裁统治的复员人口的平行战略。

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.
