Se publica el libro "The Representation of External Threats. From the Middle Ages to the Modern World" editado por Eberhard Crailsheim y María Dolores Elizalde (IH, CCHS-CSIC).

María Dolores Elizalde ha contribuido además como autora del capítulo titulado "Strategies Against External Threats to Spanish Sovereignty in a Colonial Territory: The Case of the Philippines in the 19th Century".

In The Representation of External Threats, Eberhard Crailsheim and María Dolores Elizalde present a collection of articles that trace the phenomenon of external threats in a multitude of settings across Asia, America, and Europe. The scope ranges from military threats against the Byzantine rulers of the 7th century to the perception of cultural and economic threats in the late 19th century Atlantic, and includes conceptual threats to the construction of national histories.
Focussing on the different ways in which such threats were socially constructed, the articles offer a variety of perspectives and interdisciplinary methods to understand the development and representations of external threats, concentrating on the effect of 'threat communication' for societies and political actors.
