Reviews
"... this is an excellent book that advances the cause of Atlantic history and helps to illuminate the complex relations between the participants, as well as suggesting potentially fruitful directions for further research." Rafael Torres Snchez, International Journal of Maritime History, "A very good contribution to the history of Spain and its overseas empire during a 'short' eighteenth century (from the end of the War of the Spanish Succession to the outbreak of the disastrous war against Great Britain in 1796). Seamlessly blending together multiple explanatory strands within an Atlantic framework, the authors study the grave problems faced by the Hispanic monarchy in both domestic governance and international conflicts ... a solid contribution to our understanding of the Hispanic monarchy in the eighteenth century and its strong interpretive stance should encourage more studies of the connections between domestic and international affairs seeking to achieve greater detail and depth." Sylvia L. Hilton, European History Quarterly, Advance praise: 'A superb analysis of how Spanish imperial reforms unfolded as the Bourbon monarchy competed with its rivals in Europe and across the Atlantic to the New World and transformed Spain from a composite to a regalist, centralist monarchy. Its broad perspective and perceptive analysis make this book the most thorough, mature scholarship on the Bourbon reforms. It provides an outstanding introduction to the reforms and richly rewards readers already familiar with the Spanish empire in the eighteenth century.' Kendall W. Brown, Brigham Young University

Synopsis
This book covers the evolution of royal policy in Spanish America as eighteenth-century Spain modernized its empire and transformed itself into a power of the first order. Tracing the interplay between war and reform, the analysis confronts the diverse realities of the Spanish Atlantic world, which stretched from the northern Mexican borderlands to Argentina and Chile., This volume elucidates Bourbon colonial policy with emphasis on Madrid's efforts to reform and modernize its American holdings. Set in an Atlantic world context, the book highlights the interplay between Spain and America as the Spanish empire struggled for survival amid the fierce international competition that dominated the eighteenth century. The authors use extensive research in the repositories of Spain and America, as well as innovative consultation of the French Foreign Affairs archive, to bring into focus the poorly understood reformist efforts of the early Bourbons, which laid the foundation for the better-known agenda of Charles III. As the book unfolds, the narrative puts flesh on the men and women who, for better or worse, influenced colonial governance. It is the story of power, ambition, and idealism at the highest levels., This volume elucidates Bourbon colonial policy with emphasis on Madrid's efforts to reform and modernize its American holdings.
