Abstract

El Instituto Agricola Catalan de San isidro (IACSI) es la asociacion agraria mas antigua de las existentes hoy en Espana y, desde su fundacion (1851), ha sido la principal institucion representativa de los interese de la propiedad agraria en Cataluna. Este articulo analiza el papel desempenado por esta institution en la organizacion de los intereses agrarios entre 1880 y 1936. Se argumenta que logro una preeminencia en la movilizacion agrarista de los ultimos anos del siglo XIX y una capacidad de influencia considerable en el movimiento asociativo agrario en Catalina durante las primeras decades del siglo XX. Ante las dificultades para ampliar su base social, el IACSI oriento sus esfuerzos a lograr un control indirecto del campesinado a traves de asociacoines de caracter interclasista. Esta estrategia empezo a gestarse a finales del siglo XIX, en el contexto de la crisis agraria finisecular, y continuo con mas o menos vicisitudes hasta los anos treinta, cuando el cambio de coyuntura politica, la progresiva organizacion del singicalismo campesino de clase y el aumento de la conflictividad social en el mundo rural provocaron un cambio de orientacion y se impuso definitivamente la estricta defensa de la propiedad...The Instituto Agricola Catalan de San Isidro (IACSI) is the oldest agrarian association in Spain and, since its foundation (1851), it has been the most important institution representing Catalan landowners' interests. The aim of this article is to analyze the roll of this institution from 1880 to 1936, when the Spanish Civil War started. It points out the importance of this institution in the agrarian social movement at the end of the nineteenth century and its influence on agrarian associations in the early twentieth century in Catalonia. As it was difficult to increase its members and become more powerful, it tried to obtain control of peasantry through other associations. This strategy started at the end of the nineteenth century, during the agrarian crisis, and lasted until the 1930s, when the new political context in Spain, the stronger agrarian unionism and the hard struggle between landowners and peasantry put to an end, and all the efforts of the institution concentrated in the defense of property.
