Résumé
This dossier tackles on some innovative aspects linked to the state formation process in Spain in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries. It focuses first on the development of the new Secretaries of the Despacho, showing how this development was far from a lineal and progressive path. A similar phenomenon is observed in the course of the reforms affecting the State Finances, the Hacienda, which are described in detail. The large ‘market’ on benefits and honours to serve in Spanish America at the end of the Seventeenth century is analysed as well. Finally, political tensions among the Spanish nobility and between this nobility and the new government of King Philip V are also given attention, specifically at the crucial moment of the negotiations at The Hague (1709) and Geertruidenberg (1710).
