Description
Summary:This paper addresses the subject from a theoretical, historiographical and historical point of view. We discuss the appropriateness of interpretations that might be identified as concerning the modern theory of Iberian Colonial Empires. We question the deconstructivist proposals present in the formulations of negotiated, poly-synodal Empires, which are opposed to the notion of colonial system and mercantile capitalism, highlighting the originality of the political architecture of States and its importance in the shaping of Iberism.
