«A orillas del Estado» is the political essay by Francisco Tomás y Valiente, published by Taurus in hardcover (288 pages, in Spanish).
In this posthumous work, Francisco Tomás y Valiente examines Spanish politics between 1993 and 1995. The image of the spectator watching the bullfight or the game from the stands structures the essay: to have an opinion on what is at stake for political actors requires drawing closer, placing oneself at the edge of the State, without belonging to its institutions or to the parties.
First edition, published on February 28, 1996 in the Pensamiento collection by Taurus. Includes bibliographical references.
For those interested in essays on thought and in the recent political history of Spain.
Francisco Tomás y Valiente was a Spanish jurist, historian, and writer. He was professor of history of law in the Autonomous University of Madrid. He presided Spain's Constitutional Court from 1986 to 1992. He was assassinated by ETA in 1996.
