Abstract

SANCHEZ SANTIRO, Ernest. The Bourbon reforms as a category of analysis in the institutional, economic and fiscal historiography of New Spain: origins, implementation and expansion. Hist. Caribe [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.29, pp.19-51. ISSN 0122-8803.  https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.29.2016.3.

This article proposes a reconstruction of the origin, characteristics and expansion of the historiographical category "Bourbon reforms" in the fields of institutional, economic and fiscal history dedicated to New Spain. While a journey that starts with the nineteenth-century Mexican historiography is done, the work focuses on the contributions made by several historians of Europe, United States and Latin America around that category. It also deals with the implementation and expansion in Mexican historiography from the 1970s.

Keywords : Bourbon Reforms; historiography; New Spain; institutional; economic and fiscal history.
