Green Cities, Governance and the Law
This book focusses on the developing role that the city currently plays in dealing with the effects of climate change and the instruments that can be utilised to make them truly green. Cities are at the centre of European directives aimed at tackling climate change, representing a key part of the European Green Deal and the National Recovery and Resilience Plans. As such, they provide valuable case studies for other countries grappling with how to address sustainability issues. This book is divided into three parts, with the first analysing Green urban planning and local governments in the European framework. The second examines various thematic aspects relating to this intersection, looking...
Smart Urban Mobility
This book adds a critical perspective to the legal dialogue on the regulation of ‘smart urban mobility’. Mobility is one of the most visible sub-domains of the ‘smart city’, which has become shorthand for technological advances that influence how cities are structured, public services are fashioned, and citizens coexist. In the urban context, mobility has come under pressure due to a variety of different forces, such as the implementation of new business models (e.g. car and bicycle sharing), the proliferation of alternative methods of transportation (e.g. electric scooters), the emergence of new market players and stakeholders (e.g. internet and information technology companies), an...

Constitutional Crowdsourcing
Conceptualising the new phenomenon of constitutional crowdsourcing, this incisive book examines democratic legitimacy, participation, and decision-making in constitutions and constitutionalism. It analyses how the wider population can be given a voice in constitution-making and in constitutional interpretation and control, thus promoting the exercise of original and derived constituent power.
The Economics of Catalan Separatism
This book analyses the economic consequences of the regional government of Catalonia's challenge to democracy and the rule of law in Spain. This process, started in 2010, culminated in a coup d'état in the autumn of 2017. The book has three parts. First: The circumstances behind the challenge: economic structure, social and political aspects. Second: The economic impacts of the resulting huge political instability and social polarisation, and the downturn in GDP, investment, competitiveness, Barcelona's appeal, and flight of companies and banks to Madrid. Third: Independence would mean collapse of trade with the rest of Spain and the EU, expulsion from the eurozone, fall of GDP, plummeting tax revenue, soaring unemployment and, finally, conversion of this hypothetical new Catalonia into a failed, vassal and totalitarian state. This book is destined to be the foremost work of reference on the consequences of the separatist threat to Spain, including Catalonia's current decline.

Bajo el paraguas de la economía colaborativa. El transporte a escena
La Comisión Europea en Una Agenda Europea para la economía colaborativa, reconoce como tal los “modelos de negocio en los que se facilitan actividades mediante plataformas colaborativas, que crean un mercado abierto para el uso temporal de mercancías o servicios ofrecidos a menudo por particulares”. Ello implica que, en su opinión, caben bajo este paraguas toda la actividad de transporte que se concierta a través de las plataformas colaborativas, sin distinción alguna entre modelos puros o estrictos y modelos de negocios, de los que son buenos ejemplos, respectivamente, BlaBlaCar y Uber. Sin embargo, es necesario distinguir ambos tipos de plataformas, averiguar cuál es su naturale...

España después del 15M
El 15M ha sido el movimiento social que mayor entusiasmo ha generado en España en lo que va de siglo. Para encontrar un fenómeno comparable en trascendencia seguramente tendríamos que remontarnos a los años de la Transición, y a su especial contexto. La crisis financiera mundial de 2008, que afectó de manera dramática a tantas personas que se quedaron sin trabajo, sin hogar o sin futuro, sirvió como detonante de la protesta. El sistema tiraba tanto de la cuerda que el desafío llegó de forma inesperada, cogiendo por sorpresa a los profesionales de la política. Una convocatoria de manifestación a nivel estatal, lanzada por una estructura que exigía una democracia real ya, prendió...
