Abstract
En este trabajo se analiza la actuación de grupos de interés en el mercado de los alcoholes
entre 1887 y 1936. La investigación pretende responder a la pregunta de si los
grupos de presión de este sector agroindustrial tuvieron un papel relevante en la configuración
de la política económica —proteccionista— que guió, o inhibió, el crecimiento
de la economía española durante la Restauración. Para hacerlo se ha reconstruido, a
partir de la documentación de las comisiones parlamentarias y de las publicaciones y
escritos de los propios grupos, su interacción con las instancias políticas y administrativas.
Se concluye que 1. Los grupos de presión gozaron de una gran autonomía respecto
a los intereses, extraordinariamente heterogéneos, del sector, 2. El Parlamento se mostró
incapaz de establecer prioridades entre los intereses en pugna; y 3. El proceso legislativo
tendió a vaciar de contenido las principales propuestas de representantes del sector
y no llegó a definirse una política alcoholera.
This paper analizes the performance of interest groups in the Spanish alcohol market between 1887 and 1936. The research addresses the question of the impact of these agroindustrial interest groups in the making of —protective— economic policies during the Restauration. In order to answer this question, we have reconstructed their interaction with political and administrative agencies, on the basis of both the published documents of the groups and associations, and the records of the parliamentary committees. The main conclusions are: 1. Pressure groups remained very autonomous with regards to the extremely heterogeneous interests of the sector, 2. The Parliament proved unable to establish priorities among the conflicting interests; and 3. The lawmaking process ignored the main proposals and did not produce an alcohol policy.
