ABSTRACT
This special chapter, in the form of an epilogue, brings together the contributions of six experts who participated as commentators in the workshop on democracy in contemporary Spain that inspired this book. First, they reflect on the narrative of Spanish history with which they were familiar and to what extent they thought it should be revised since the proposals in the previous chapters. Second, they reflect on the relevance of approaching other spaces and scales than those traditionally used to study the processes of socialisation and political democratisation. In the second part of the chapter, an open debate was established between them and the authors of the other chapters of the book. Ultimately, the chapter is the result of those fruitful discussion sessions that were worth incorporating into the book. Their critical perspectives on the concept of democracy, the complexity of its diachronic analysis, the importance of geographical scales and their contributions on the democratising nature of the different social mobilisations they are familiar with go far beyond the interest that the book may have for specialists in Spanish history.
