This article analyses the influence of confessional divides in the construction of a Mediterranean frontier between the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb at the very beginning of the early modern period. Questioning the influence that religious difference had on the geopolitics of the early modern Mediterranean could seem superfluous since historians have traditionally depicted the Mediterranean world as a space of confrontation between two confessional empires, the Ottoman and the Habsburg. Nevertheless, by focusing on a selection of diplomatic negotiations from the Western Mediterranean it appears that several actors envisioned a scenario where religious and political frontiers were far from coincide. This article will analyse the diplomatic negotiations promoted by different Muslimcommunities from the Maghreb to voluntarily enter under the rule of the Catholic Monarchs in the framework of the Spanish imperial expansion at the beginning
of the sixteenth century. In studying these negotiations from an actor-based approach my aim is not to deny the religious or the political divide existing between the Christian and the Islamic shores. I will argue, however, that this frontier was constructed through the interaction of a wide array of agents such as local elites, royal officers, military men, religious actors, and rulers, with changing agendas towards religious difference.

ABSTRACT. The economic, political, financial and social crisis that broke out in 2008 has brought fateful consequences for the so-called welfare states. At the light of the social and ideological impact of this " crisis " , social scientists have inquired themselves about how rulers financed their states in past times, what kind of solutions they created, or how did they deal with private capital markets. This article examines how historians have approached the " financial crises " that took place in Castile during the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries during the last decade. By focusing on the methodological tools that historians have mobilized and the analytical perspectives they have employed, four different topics are examined in the following pages: bankruptcies, debt, taxation and finance.
RESUMEN. La crisis económica, política, financiera y social que estalló en 2008 ha traído consecuen-cias nefastas para los llamados estados del bienestar. El impacto social e ideológico que ha provocado esta " crisis " ha puesto en el punto de mira de los científicos sociales los problemas que han tenido que confrontar los estados para financiarse en los mercados privados y las soluciones planteadas al respec-to. El presente artículo se interroga por la manera en la que la historiografía se ha aproximado a las " crisis financieras " de la Castilla de los siglos XVI y XVII durante la última década, las herramientas metodológicas que se han empleado y las perspectivas de análisis que han sido utilizadas. A lo largo de sus páginas se pretende ofrecer una suerte de estado de la cuestión que discurre por diferentes aspectos como la historia de las bancarrotas, la deuda y fiscalidad, y las finanzas.

Reformation and Counter-reformation redefined the political environment over the Early Modern period. Traditional literature has emphasized the European dimension of this conflict overlooking its global ramifications and the different solutions adopted by local actors in the fringes of empires. Beyond the exploration of decisions taken in European political centers and negotiated at state-level treaties, this panel invites papers dealing with practical and contextual resolutions to religious-based political conflicts between Catholics and Protestants. Papers are welcome dealing with violent and non-violent solutions to conflicts in Asian, African and American contexts in order to reconstruct the global scenario created by religious dissension and how all the communities involved in the processeswere affected. Please, send a title (15-word maximum), an abstract (150-word maximum) and a short CV before August 07 to José Miguel Escribano Jose.Escribano@eui.eu or Jorge Díaz Ceballos
