Absolutismo reformista. Una idea transversal del estado político en la modernidad 1520-1748

Abstract

During   the  17th  and  18th  century  Europe  saw  the  birth  and  expansion  on  the  emerging modern  States a model  of Government  that  broke with  the State management  methods  before seen.  To  this  new  perspective  will  attach  the  name  of  reformism,  term  that  evokes  the  new awakening  of the purely  political  reason of State. But  what  guidelines  were necessary  so that a  State  be  considered  reformist?   The  new  vision   of  State  management   was  born  of  the complex  European  hegemonic  situations  between  the  15th  to the  18th  centuries  and  finally found  their  power bases in  the intellectual  theories  of absolutism  and enlightenment.  Creating a political  theory  that  would  succeed  to such  a level  that  it cover a large  part of the European States reorganizing  the  continental  order.
