It is customary to consider population censuses (and statistics in general) as exclusive to the modern State, appearing in the second half of the eighteenth century but being developed and spreading in the West during the nineteenth century. Indeed, censuses help to strengthen and legitimize such states. However, in Spain, just as in Europe and the United States, the first population censuses considered modern were the result of, on the one hand, the directives and general and provincial coordination provided by the new state statistical institutions, such as the Statistics Commission or the Institute of Geography and, on the other, municipal personnel and the previous knowledge of local conditions held by the councils and other agents, such as the clergy, intellectuals, and notables. The media were also availed of for the cause. Let us recall that the municipalities were an explicit part of the state apparatus, therefore their relevance in carrying out censuses is not an indication of failure or weakness on the part of the Spanish State regarding the process of “bottom-up nation-building”, but rather a way to imagine the nation through which collective involvement would build the nation from the locality.

自下而上的国家建设:19 世纪西班牙的国家人口普查和地方行政管理

习惯上认为人口普查(以及一般的统计数据)是现代国家独有的,出现在 18 世纪下半叶,但在 19 世纪在西方得到发展和传播。事实上,人口普查有助于加强这些国家并使之合法化。然而,在西班牙,就像在欧洲和美国一样,第一次被认为是现代的人口普查一方面是统计委员会等新国家统计机构提供的指令以及一般和省级协调的结果。或地理研究所,另一方面,市政人员以及议会和其他代理人(如神职人员、知识分子和显要人物)持有的对当地情况的先前知识。媒体也因此被利用。
