Conflictos y tensiones en las sociedades portuarias del norte peninsular (S. XVI_XIX), edited by Manuel-Reyes García Hurtado

In historiography, Spanish maritime and naval history has undoubtedly received the least attention, not only in relation to the European states that played an important role in the oceans of the Modern Age (especially France and England), but even if we compare the existing bibliography for territories that played a very secondary role with that published on Spain. This scarcity of research is slowly beginning to be alleviated in recent years, thanks to articles, monographs and doctoral theses that have become new reference titles. The subject matter is diverse, but the main focus is on institutional analysis, centred on naval policy, particularly on aspects such as the supply of manpower for the arsenals, crews, shipbuilding, supplies, etc.
