Abstract
La presente tesis doctoral tiene como principal objetivo el análisis del sistema de aprovisionamiento del ejército borbónico en Cataluña durante el reinado de Felipe V y el papel que en él tuvieron los asentistas catalanes. Para conseguirlo, hemos estudiado las bases del discurso historiográfico sobre los efectos de la demanda militar en la economía catalana desde el propio siglo XVIII hasta nuestros días. Asimismo, hemos descrito la notable experiencia acumulada por los contratistas catalanes en la provisión de los ejércitos de Carlos II y de los múltiples contendientes que operaron en el principado durante la Guerra de Sucesión. Seguidamente, hemos detallado los principales factores que estructuraron y determinaron la demanda militar en Cataluña después de 1714. Finalmente, hemos analizado múltiples sectores de la provisión y la participación de los asentistas catalanes en todos ellos, pudiendo trazar sus trayectorias profesionales y las particularidades sectoriales a lo largo del reinado de Felipe V. Todo ello nos ha permitido conocer en profundidad la comunidad de asentistas catalanes del momento, así como el papel del ejército como un agente tanto de sujeción como de premio y atracción de fidelidades en el contexto del asentamiento de la Nueva Planta.
This doctoral thesis aims to analyse the military provisioning system established in Catalonia during the reign of King Philip V and the role played by local contractors. To achieve this goal, we have addressed the historiographical debate around this issue from its beginning at the end of the 18th century to our days. Then, we have described the extensive experience of several Catalan companies in furnishing the troops of King Charles II, as well as their activities supplying all the armies that operated in the Catalan theatre of the War of the Spanish Succession. Once under Bourbon rule again, our analysis has focused on the determining factors that characterized Spanish military demand for the rest of this period and by which means local contractors could participate in this type of business. Finally, we provide an insight into several sectors of this military supply system and the activities of Catalan entrepreneurs and artisans in each one. By doing so, we have been able to carefully describe this community of Catalan contractors and the role of the Spanish military both as an element of coercion and an instrument to attract and reward fidelity after the Succession War.
