Klappentext Order and Legitimacy argues for the uniqueness of Spain among the other countries of Europe. For Wilson! the most salutary attribute of Spanish politics is found in the assemblage of smaller groupings of the citienry within the larger society in communities; and it is in the smaller association that the most important aspects of moral! social and political life were nurtured. The recovery of Spanish traditionalism! according to this book! is dependent upon a return to the self-understanding of the ordering principles of Spanish politics and society. Wilsons affirmation of a Spanish traditionalist inheritance during his lifetime encouraged a return to authentic popular rule and a greater appreciation of Spanish achievements in politics and the moral life.
