Regina Grafe (PhD London School of Economics and Political Science 2001) is a historian of early modern Spain with a special interest in economic history. Her recent book Entre el Mundo Ibérico y el Atlántico traced the transformation of northern Spain in the wake of the region’s integration into the English North Atlantic in the 16th and 17th centuries. Currently, her work centres on a book project that seeks to unravel the sources of peninsular Spain’s painfully slow economic, political and social integration between the late 17th and the early 19th centuries and on a parallel study of the political economy of Spanish imperial rule. Grafe was elected to a Prize Fellowship at Oxford’s Nuffield College 2003-6 and has enjoyed support from the European Union’s Marie Curie Fellowship Programme, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research and the Library Company Philadelphia. She teaches courses on early modern Spanish history as well as a survey of European economic history.
