«Por razón de Estado» is the historical essay by Juan Balansó, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (314 pages, in Spanish).
The essay surveys the marriages of the House of Bourbon in Spain, from Philip V to Juan Carlos I and Sofía: seventeen women who shared the monarchs' fate. Balansó analyzes these unions as state alliances and reflects on their political and social weight, with a final chapter devoted to the then Prince of Asturias.
It belongs to the «Así fue» collection (no. 52), in its first edition of 2002, and includes bibliographic references and an index.
For those interested in the history of the Spanish monarchy and the role of dynastic alliances in Europe.
