Presentation
The management and government of the colonies demanded in a continuous sense a knowledge and control of the territories. To know in order to control so that it is possible to adapt the colonial policy to the metropolitan needs and the colony demands. All of this belongs to the same system in which were involved the metropolis and the colonies. It is important to know the reformist stage and its characteristics since from the ideological and philosophical illustrate configuration – and its special starting in Spain and its overseas territories – appeared different ways of understanding the authority and its experience management. In this way, the Spanish reformism is the expression of a illustration “from above”, with poor social grounds.
Secondly, we will work on those instruments which were used by the metropolitan governments in order to have a right knowledge of the colonies, its population, natural resources, plants, animals, etc. ´The scientific expeditions, the population register and census were some of the tools which were useful to know precisely the state of the colonies. That knowledge was very useful to plan and to give content the colonial policies.
We try to analyse the strategies that the Iberian Empires deployed along the XIXth century and during the first quarter of the XXth century in order to follow governing the colonies and which way the colonial policies were being changed. In the middle of the Imperialism, and after the first colonial independence war, the metropolis took some decisions that leaded to a new reassessment of the policy relations with the introduction of liberal reforms in Cuba and Puerto Rico. Shortly before, the creation of Overseas Ministry as a specific management institution showed a renewed interest for the overseas management. The creation of policy parties and the incorporation of Las Antillas to the metropolitan parliament system, there are some of the main changes whose evolution along the time will be aim of special attention.
Other aspect to be studies will be the evolution of the public funds of the colonies, main element that shows the nature of the colonial relation. It will be studied the fiscal instruments designed by the metropolis in order to drain the resources generated from the economical activity of the colony to metropolitan’s own benefice, its quantity and its evolution with special focus on fiscal reforms. The evolution of the tax policy and the state income from Las Antillas are certainly bore on the transformation of the system of slave plantation.
