    A 'Second Transition' in Spain? Policy, Institutions and Interparty Politics under Zapatero (2004-8)
    in South European Society & Politics , Volume 14, Issue 4, Special Issue: Spain's ‘Second Transition’? The Socialist Government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, December ,  2009 ,  379-397
    This work analyses whether the first government of Socialist Prime Minister Jos Luis Rodrguez Zapatero (2004-8) represents a 'second transition' in relation to the transition to democracy that occurred in Spain in the mid-1970s. After reviewing the concept of a second transition and the electoral context, the work analyses the patterns of change and continuity in the areas of public policy, political institutions and interparty politics. It concludes that while there were significant changes during the Zapatero government, they do not amount to a second transition.
