The Hispanic Monarchy constituted the first global power in Europe in the Modern Age. Its doctrinal justification was carried out from the reworking of the medieval concept of Empire, formulated in the key of "Universal Monarchy", a first "global form of sovereignty" whose trial occurred simultaneously both in the European territorial space and outside it. . As a consequence of the formidable process of spatial expansion launched, the imperial monarchy had to develop in a dynamic of permanent cultural interaction. From Mexico to Cape Verde, passing through Lima, Salvador de Bahia, Manila, Goa, Luanda, the lands of Monomotapa or the islands of Micronesia, the servants of the Crown were faced with cultures, ways of living and governing that they did not have. any relationship with the European world from which they came, which, inevitably, ended up imposing substantial modifications in relation to the starting cultural pattern. The subject thus attempts to outline the main manifestations that occurred within what has been designated as "the first globalization of the world." Understand, therefore, the formation of this complex world, the efforts to achieve its integration into a coherent political reality and subordinated to the interests of the Crown at all times, its relationship with the other rival empires that emerge in the historical period analyzed, and the unsurmounted challenges that led to the dissolution of the original project, as well as the survivals that exceeded the chronological limits of the Modern period, are the fundamental objectives of this subject.
The content of this subject is structured into the following topics:
1.- Empire and globalization: a historiographic perspective.
2.- The first globalization: the worlds of the Imperial Monarchy.
3.- Monarchy, science and cartography.
4.- Iberian imperial dynamics and imaginaries.
5.- Empire, political culture and obedience.
6.- The Hispanic Monarchy and European balance.

- Know how to apply the knowledge acquired and solve problems in new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the area of study.
- Acquire the learning skills that allow you to continue studying in a way that will be largely autonomous.
B) TRANSVERSE.

The learning process of the competencies that integrate knowledge and skills established in the previous section will be developed through a methodology articulated around expository lessons in the classroom, which guarantee the objectives in knowledge competencies; seminars and work aimed at training in the skills of carrying out group activities, supervised by the teacher; public presentation of their results, in order to develop oral communication skills; writing papers and readings, supervised by the teacher, that allow for critical analysis of sources and synthesis of ideas. Through the combination of these learning techniques (face-to-face and online), the aim is to achieve the comprehensive training of the student in this subject in terms of the established competencies.
The subject evaluation system aims to guarantee the learning results of knowledge skills, synthesis of ideas and complex work, as well as oral intercommunication. Therefore, a continuous and multivariable evaluation system has been chosen throughout the course, which is why the grading of the subject will be carried out based on the following sums:
A) Evaluation of practical and theoretical works, reviews, discursive analysis, presentations, etc., 30%
B) Continuous evaluation of attendance and participation in face-to-face activities, 25%
C) Continuous evaluation of attendance and participation in reading seminars, 20%.
D) Participation in face-to-face and virtual tutorials, national and international, 25%.
The student's study and personal work time is estimated at 125 hours.
-Assiduous attendance at class is considered a fundamental and irreplaceable condition.
-Reading the recommended bibliography would serve to expand or complement the explanations received in classes.
-It is also considered advisable to make comments on texts and other historical documents (maps, statistical tables, graphs).
-Consulting historical atlases and specific dictionaries should be common.
-Always try to clarify any doubts that may arise, whether in classes or in tutorials.
In the case of academic fraud as defined in article 42 of the USC Coexistence Law of March 2023, the sanctions provided for in article 11 will be applied if plagiarism occurs in academic works or exams or non-consensual use of Artificial intelligence.
