Abstract
This paper analyses the role of the Atlantic expansion in the consolidation of the State, as well as the function of the monarch in this process. The case of the Canary Islands during its formative phase (14th-16th Centuries) will be taken as an example. I will address the incorporation of the Canaries to the Crown of Castille, its administrative statute and the application of instruments for its political cohesion.
