Abstract

The article analyses the steel restructuring policiees in Spain in the period 1977-1984, focusing on their consequences on Altos Hornos del Mediterráneo. The authors defend that, from an economic and industrial point of view, the steel restructuring carried out in 1984 was a failure because it supposed that the project to build a integrated steel plant in the Spanish Mediterranean coast, which was the only possibility of giving Spain a real competitive steel industry able to meet domestic demand, was definitely abandoned.
