The Late Francoism Dataset

The Late Francoism Dataset (base de datos del tardofranquismo) covers 618 profiles of those occupying the top positions in economic, political, and cultural Francoist institutions. It provides a basis for assessing whether these individuals remained in positions of power after the Spanish transition. For each profile, the dataset captures a series of socio-demographic characteristics and information regarding professional and intellectual careers. In terms of careers, the dataset includes more than 4900 jobs of 614 individuals over more than 50 years. The dataset allows the comparison of elites' positions over time, both during the dictatorship and the democratic period. The data also helps researchers to establish the extent to which different elites remained in power and the characteristics that determined their survival after democratization. Version 1.1 is the latest version available. A research note that serves as supporting documentation is currently under review. Related publications using this dataset can be found in this entry.
