Abstract

The decrees of institutional reform of 1713 and 1714 are a milestone in the administrative reforms proposed in the reign of Felipe V. The new organization of councils was to be seen as a victory of reformism proposed by the regalist in power. However, opposition from many administrators forced the authorities to nominate new places with people close to the government. Our aim in this paper is the relational analysis of the men selected to occupy the reformed institutions. We propose an interpretation that is based on administrative patronage relationships around Macanaz. Finally, we are interested in the trajectories of those favored after the counter-reform of 1715.
