Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The transitions to democracy in Portugal (1974-1976) and Spain (1975-1977) inaugurated the ?democratic quarter century?. These two transitions were profoundly different and this paper argues that although the Spanish case has attracted wider attention as paradigmatic of pacted transition, the Portuguese case, which included a significant episode of social revolution, has left an enduring and important legacy that is frequently not recognized. The enormous advantage of Portugal over Spain in employment creation is linked to direct and indirect consequences of the revolution related to: 1) female participation in the labor force; 2) welfare-state development; and, 3) the structure of the financial system with consequences for the availability of credit for small firms. Other differences between the cases that are discussed include civic education and the breadth of the ?public sphere? of democratic discussion and debate. The paper argues that differences between the two transitions were the result of a major contrast in conditions, not strategies, and that neither country could have ?opted? for the transition experienced by the other. The implications of these differences for the quality of democracy are considered.
