Antiliberal political traditionalism: The Catalan Carlists Authors Lluís Ferran Toledano González Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Abstract Catalan Carlism was one of the most prominent versions of European anti-liberalism and counter-revolution. This article delves into a debate on the traditional and/or modern nature of the social movements; the relationship between religion, politics and identity; the impact of the civil wars on the construction of nation-states; and the exercise of power and violence. In a context of factories and workers, Carlism built the longest insurrectional guerrilla culture in all of Europe and became the theatre of operations of the “international white”.Keywords: Carlism, counter-revolution, guerrilla, civil war, Catalanism, international white Author Biography Lluís Ferran Toledano González, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Lluís Ferran Toledano Gonzàlez has been an associate professor at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona since 2004 and has taught seminars at a dozen Spanish and European universities.
