Preface

The Iberian Peninsula, home to modern-day Spain and Portugal, serves as a crossroads of regional, international, and transatlantic relations. The peninsula plays a pivotal role in shaping global interactions through its cultural exchanges and geopolitical alliances. This continues to influence global politics, economics, and cultural identity, making the study of Iberia’s relationships crucial to understanding global trends. By examining its connections across Europe, Africa, the Americas, and beyond, researchers may gain insight into how the Iberian Peninsula shapes and is shaped by the world. Regional, International, and Transatlantic Relations From the Iberian Peninsula to the World explores memory politics and historical revisionism, focusing on dictatorships, migrations and exiles, as well as cross border dialogues between communities within the Iberian Peninsula. It examines international relations, centering on the Anglo-Iberian contacts and influences in the political, historical and cultural domains, and on transatlantic studies in North and South America. This book covers topics such as diplomacy, regional development, and nationalism, and is a useful resource for business owners, historians, government officials, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
