标题:Fronteras, poder y milicia en la España Moderna Consecuencias de la administración militar en las poblaciones de la frontera catalano-aragonesa durante la Guerra de Secesión Catalana (1640-1652)
摘要:This paper analyses the frontier role from a multiple perspective, where concepts such as Power and Army are very important to explain this role on the Old Regime’s Spain. On one side, it is necessary to remark some items that clearly help to explain the broad meaning of «frontier», such as the deep local life, the political geography, their role as a strong personality on countries and nations, the military component and the complex jurisdictions on the land. On the other side, this paper analyses the role of the «overlay» frontiers and the «confronted» powers along the frontier in the kingdom of Aragon during the XVII Century. The author gives some explanations of the military administration on the villages and cities of the «frontier». Finally, the paper deals with the French occupation of the Aragonese cities on the frontier, in which military government was held. Political, social and economic aspects of the current life were clearly changed, as it is explained, during this French occupation.
