Javier Noya, Beatriz Rodríguez and Antonia María Ruiz Jiménez (2008) This program analyzes Spain's image before U.S. public opinion, defined as the perceptions and assessments of the average citizen rather than those of the elites. It also provides a brief evaluation of the current state of U.S-Spain bilateral relations and a brief look at Spains image in the United States at various points in history, since both topics will provide us with a better perspective for understanding the countrys present-day image. http://www.realinstitutoelcano.org/ http://www.realinstitutoelcano.org/wps/portal/rielcano/contenido?WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT=/Elcano_es/Zonas_es/Imagen+de+Espana/DT44-2008
