Abstract
The years 1980-6 represented Spain's most intense period of political, economic, and cultural transition since the Second Republic, half a century earlier. General Franco's death in 1975 had been followed by five years of tentative shift from a centralized dictatorship to a two-tier democratic system of national and regional governance. National general elections took place in 1977 and 1979, but it wasn't until the clear victory of Felipe Gonzalez' Socialist Workers' Party in the October 1982 elections that democratic stability was reached.
