Résumé En

Royal and Seigneurial Patronage Networks towards the End of the Old Regime. Case-Studies on Spain. C. Windler. Instead of focusing, in a centralist perspective, on the institutional aspects of State formation, this paper turns the attention towards the complex set of interactions between institutions and patronage networks in the relations between the Crown, the royal tribunals and administrations, the seigneurial aristocracy and the local elites. From the 18th century political changes implied a profound restructuring of the patronage networks of both the seigneurial aristocracy and the Crown. Influential local notables not only adapted dynamically to changing political conditions, but contributed themselves to shape them. The crisis of the Old Regime and the esta blishment of a liberal political order consecrated their power over the formal state structures. The paper concludes that their way of reorganizing patronage networks was not the characteristic of an archaic rural world, but, on the contrary, an efficient and rational strategy to participate in the political transformations.
