Title

Greece, Spain and the theory of emancipation in early European liberalism

Date

Abstract

Since the crisis of the Spanish monarchical empire in 1808, the idea of emancipation proved a very useful concept for interpreting its consequences. Even if limited by a Catholic culture, early Spanish and Spanish American constitutionalism integrated a theory of emancipation that affected both nations and citizens. From the 1820s the appeal of the Greek Ρevolution and War of Independence opened a new scenario that was immediately taken as an additional case for expanding and comparing the theory of emancipation. This paper will explore the thought of Dominique Dufour de Pradt, the French intellectual who reflected extensively on both cases.
