Abstract
With this chapter, we begin our examination of the uneven development of capitalist production within Spain in the decades following the crises of the 1970s, and its relation within the uneven development of national and regional spaces of accumulation within Europe. In so doing, we endorse the argument that, from the outset, the process of European ‘integration’ associated with the Common Market, monetary convergence, and of course, European Monetary Union (EMU) reinforced patterns of uneven development that were prefigured in previous cycles of the global overaccumulation of capital (Bonefeld, 1998; Carchedi, 1997; Hadjimichalis, 1994).1
