It explains how the Six (the Nine after 1972) implemented a set of policy measures that facilitated the subsistence of the Franco regime, proving that trade with the Six improved Spain's overall economic performance, which in turn secured Franco's rule. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Six provided the Spanish economy with a stable supply of essential raw materials and capital goods and with outlet markets for the country's main export commodities. Through these mechanisms the European Communities assisted Spanish economic development and supported the stabilization of the non-democratic political regime ruling Spain. The Franco regime was never threatened by European integration and the Six\/Nine managed to isolate meaningful Community negotiations with Spain from mounting political disturbance. \u003cem\u003eThe European Rescue of the Franco Regime, 1950-1975\u003c\/em\u003e shows that without unremitting material assistance from Western Europe, it would have been considerably more challenging for the Franco regime to attain the stability that enabled the dictator to maintain his rule until he died peacefully at 82 years old.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernando Guirao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198861230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198861232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021","brand":"Fernando Guirao","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43943379108095,"sku":"9780198861232","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_631de1c5-7ec5-4626-96f5-657b392ca641.jpg?v=1681497787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-european-rescue-of-the-fernando-guirao-9780198861232","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
