La transición de la dictadura a la democracia en España Molinero, Carme Ysás, Pere Spanish transition - Francoism - Antifrancoism - State of autonomies . There already exists an abundant literature on the transition from dictatorship to democracy in Spain. Different historiographical currents offer notably diverse portrayals of the process. Nevertheless, a markedly common feature of the various interpretations is the limited attention paid to the dynamics that developed between center and periphery. The article takes as a starting point, on the one hand, the thesis that the transition from dictatorship to democracy in the 1970s was possible because the political and social opposition had spread enough to cause the regime established in 1939 to suffer a deep crisis before Franco’s death. On the other hand, it holds that the political dynamics of the peninsular periphery played a crucial role in the boost of the anti-Francoism throughout Spain. Starting from these premises, the article will analyze the elements allowing us to assert a more complex view of the general process that culminated in the establishment of democracy in Spain -one of its major results being a model of territorial organization of the State based on the autonomies, that broke away from the extreme centralism of the dictatorship La transición de la dictadura a la democracia en España cuenta ya con una bibliografía importante aunque su caracterización es notablemente diversa entre distintas corrientes historiográficas. Sin embargo, un elemento notablemente común a las diferentes interpretaciones es la escasa atención prestada a la dinámica desarrollada entre centro y periferia. El artículo parte de la tesis de que, por un lado, la transición de la dictadura a la democracia en los años setenta fue posible porque la oposición política-social se había extendido suficientemente como para conseguir que el régimen instaurado en 1939 sufriera una crisis profunda antes de la muerte de Franco. Por otro lado, sostiene que la dinámica política en la periferia peninsular fue decisiva en el empuje del antifranquismo observado globalmente. A partir de ambas premisas, en el artículo se analizarán los elementos que permiten sostener una visión más compleja del proceso general que desembocará en la instauración de la democracia en España y que tiene uno de sus corolarios más destacados en la implantación del modelo autonómico para la organización territorial del Estado, rompiendo con el centralismo exacerbado durante la dictadura.
