Biography
Maximiliano Fuentes Codera is Associate Professor at the University of Girona.
"Maximiliano Fuentes Codera's new book breaks new ground in applying a transnational lens to the comparative study of neutrality. His study is both refreshing and original, and in juxtaposing Argentinian and Spanish neutrality, he sheds new light on the experiences of both countries, their governments and societies."
Neville Wylie, University of Stirling, UK
“The detailed research and analysis offered means that the book stands as an excellent contribution to the growing historiography on the subject of neutrality in the First World War. Fuentes Codera ably demonstrates the local distinctions of neutrality in Spain and Argentina, whilst simultaneously presenting them in their wider context as part of a larger, transnational phenomenon”
Ben Markham, History. The Journal of the Historical Association
“Fuentes Codera’s work is a most welcome contribution to the fields of transnational cultural history and neutrality, and a must-read for scholars wishing to engage in genuinely global approaches to studying the cultural dimensions of the First World War”
Marina Pérez de Arcos, First World War Studies
