The book “El liderazgo político local. Análisis empírico del caso español”, written by Miguel
Molina Picazo and published by Tirant Humanidades in 2024, is a valuable contribution to the
study of leadership in the municipal field. Through a combination of theoretical analysis,
documentary review and a survey conducted between 2020 and 2023, the author explores
how political leadership has been shaped in Spain since the restoration of democracy. The book
examines both the institutional evolution and the personal and communicative competencies
of mayors, offering an updated and well-supported perspective on their role within local
government.
