Abstract
espanolLa Transicion en Asturias paso por una confluencia entre el regionalismo y los partidos minoritarios de la izquierda. A traves de conexiones personales e ideologicas, los regionalistas extendieron su influencia sobre los partidos del ambito intelectual: La Democracia Socialista Asturiana, el Movimiento Comunista de Asturias, y el Partido Socialista Popular de Asturias. Aunque nunca tuvieron exito en las urnas, el entorno regionalista consiguio influir en la definicion de la nueva democracia en Asturias en la misma medida que el proceso autonomico, a traves de su campana electoral y de la integracion en el PSOE del bloque regionalista del PSPA. A partir de 1977, el PSOE se alzo como fuerza dominante, pero lo hizo solo parcialmente debido a la incorporacion y cooptacion de otras corrientes de la izquierda. No se puede entender la Transicion centrandonos unicamente en los vencedores de las elecciones. Es necesario tambien tener en cuenta el ambiente politico de la epoca y la diversidad de los grupos que contribuyeron a la articulacion del nuevo concepto democratico. EnglishThe Transition in Asturias saw an intersection between regionalism and the minority parties of the left. Through personal and ideological connections, the regionalists extended their influence over the parties of the intelligentsia: Asturian Socialist Democracy, the Communist Movement of Asturias, and the Popular Socialist Party of Asturias. Although unsuccessful at the polls, the regionalists managed to influence both the definition of the new democracy in Asturias and the autonomy process through their election campaign and also through the merging of the PSPA regionalist block with the PSOE. From 1977 onwards, the PSOE became dominant but they did so only partially due to the incorporation and the cooption of other leftist trends. The Transition to democracy cannot just be understood by focusing on the elected winners; rather it is necessary to pay attention to the political environment of the time and the diversity of the groups that contributed to the articulation of the new concept of democracy.
