Las Juntas fuera de la Corte: una perspectiva desde la Sevilla del XVII

The studies about the institutional phenomenon represented by the juntas have generally focused on the court environment, establishing the idea that these organizations were endemic to the headquarters of the central power, intimately linked to the royal figure. The present work, however, raises the possibility that its development within the Hispanic Monarchy extended to other spaces, such as, for example, Seville. This city, head of the commercial monopoly with the Indies, met throughout the seventeenth century several assembly experiences: the Junta de la Avería; the Junta de Ministros, in 1630, and the Junta de la Quietud in 1652. Throughout the analysis of its structure, faculties, and trajectory, we will confront its similarities and differences, pondering about its importance in relation to other contemporary institutions.
