Current Research
His thesis focused on the state apparatus in the transition between the Old Regime and liberal state. The study of political and social history of the administration led him to focus on personnel management and administrative reforms that mark on this management in the years 1823-1833. Besides this knowledge of the sources and operation of the headquarters, he was brought, as part of its HDR, around the person of Maria Alejandro Aguado, to address social promotions fast marking in Spanish during the Eighteenth century. He finally answered in this same context the renewed trade relations between Europe and Cuba in the aftermath of the Napoleonic episode. These two experiences have allowed scientists to make the learning of database administrators.
