The aim of this work is to explain the political recruitment and ministerial careers of the national cabinet members in democratic Spain (1977-2011). The study suggests the influence of the social and political characteristics as well as the political career on the access to the office and on their ministerial trajectories. Why some ministers last longer than others? Why some of them change of portfolio and other do not? Why some ministers are recruited as specialists while others become generalists ministers suitable for any task? Are there differences between t different portfolios? To understand these questions, it is necessary to pay attention to the political changes that have shaped the contemporary Spain: social modernization, democratization of the political system and a regional decentralization. Some specific features appear in the Spanish ministerial elite: fewer national MPs and more members coming from other political levels than in other parliamentary systems. Ministers stay shortly and most of them will not experience any change in portfolio. The analysis of the ministerial circulation in Spain contributes to a better understanding of the presidentialisation that seems to be taking place in the Spanish political system during the democratic period.

Barberà, O., Barrio, A. Rodríguez, J. (2009) “Los Partidos de Ámbito No Estatal en Aragón: El Partido Aragonés y la Chunta Aragonesista” Papers – Revista de Sociología, 92: 171-195
The aim of this article is to describe the political and organizational evolution of the two main non state wide parties in Aragon: the Partido Aragonés (PAR) and the Chunta Aragonesista (CHA). The article focuses on the importance that the environmental changes, especially at the electoral arena, have had on the evolution of both parties. And also points out the similarities of their trajectories, deeply marked by a significant initial growth and steady electoral erosion once the representation threshold is achieved.
