The Study Group on Republic and Democracy (GERD) was recognized as a consolidated research group by the Government of Catalonia in 2009 (2009 SGR 255) and 2014 (2014 SGR 1261). The main research lines of the GERD focus on the different republican and democratic experiences during the Catalan and Spanish Contemporary History, paying very special attention to the comparative studies with other Western European cases.The group also works on the study of social classes and movements, political parties and labor unions, as well as on their political cultures and their political, economic, social and cultural projects that in some way have contributed to promote (or fight against) the construction of the republican citizenship and the democratic states in Catalonia, Spain and the rest of Western Europe. |
