8/ And on a more personal note, it’s a joy to embark on this journey alongside colleagues who are, above all, great friends.

Looking forward to sharing more as the work unfolds¡

7/ It’s a project I’m especially excited about: it brings together shared research, collective reflection, and a chance to rethink Francoism’s place in 20th-century global history.

6/ 🔗 Our project forms part of the coordinated project
“Compared Post-War Regimes II: The Spanish Dictatorships in the Transnational Context of Counterrevolution and Anti-Communism in the 20th Century,” led by @maxifuentescodera.bsky.social (‪‪@univgirona.bsky.social‬)

5/ 🧑‍💼 I have the privilege of co-leading this project with my long-time mentor, Miguel Ángel Ruiz Carnicer, as part of a wide team of historians from several European and Latin American universities.

4/ We’ll examine its ideological, diplomatic, and organisational influence — and how it integrated into broader transnational spaces shaped by anti-communism, counterrevolution, and critiques of liberal democracy.

3/ Over the next four years, an interdisciplinary and international team will explore how Francoism became a reference point for conservative and authoritarian networks across Europe and the Americas during the Cold War.

2/ 🎯 The project, funded through the 2024 Generación Conocimiento call (PID2024-155891NB-C22), is titled:

“Transnational Francoism: Francoism as a model for authoritarian and anti-communist political organisations and movements during the Cold War, 1945–1975.”

¡Enhorabuena, Carlos!
