Anarchists and Communists in Brazil, 1900-1935
In providing a detailed account of the leftist opposition and its bloody repression in Brazil during the Old Republic and the early years of the Vargas regime, John W. F. Dulles gives considerable attention to the labor movement, generally neglected by historians. This study focuses on the formation and activities of anarchists and Communists, the two most important radical groups working within Brazilian labor. Relying on a wide variety of sources, including interviews and personal papers, Dulles supplies information that for the most part is unavailable in English and not easily accessible in Portuguese. The struggles of Brazilian workers—usually against an alliance of company owners, st...
Franco's Internationalists
Despite the repression, violence, and social hardship which characterised Spanish life in the 1940s and 1950s, the Franco regime sought to win popular support by promoting its apparent commitment to social justice. This study tells the story of the experts in public health, medicine, and social insurance sent to sell Franco's regime overseas.
Poland and Spain in the Interwar and Postwar Period
In the second volume comparing Poland and Spain (the comparison being fruit of cooperation between the University of Warsaw and the CEU San Pablo University in Madrid) we concentrate on studying two historical periods of the 20th century, the happy 1920′s of the interwar period and later on at the end of World War II. The two periods have been studied in their corresponding countries but have never been compared in parallel to see their coincidences and differences. Poland and Spain of the time allow for a comparison due to the similar populations, social agricultural models with intensely industrialised local centres and modern structuring processes which lead to a crisis of the very national unity. The selected periods present indispensable similarities which make the study interesting.
The Diplomatic Enlightenment
This book reconfigures the study of the origins of the Enlightenment in the Spanish Empire. Challenging dominant interpretations of the period, this book shows that early eighteenth-century Spanish authors turned to Enlightenment ideas to reinvent Spain’s role in the European balance of power. And while international law grew to provide a legal framework that could safeguard peace, Spanish officials, diplomats, and authors, hardened by the failure of Spanish diplomacy, sought instead to regulate international relations by drawing on investment, profit, and self-interest. The book shows, on the basis of new archival research, that the Diplomatic Enlightenment sought to turn the Spanish Empire into a space for closer political cooperation with other European and non-European states and empires.

Zwischen Huesca und Lérida
Die spanischen Zentralpyrenäen der Provinzen Huesca und Lérida sind ein in sprachlicher Hinsicht bemerkenswertes Gebiet. Einerseits existieren auf basilektaler Ebene noch heute die Reste eines ursprünglich viel weiträumigeren Kontinuums, andererseits gewinnen die beiden großen Standardsprachen der Region, Kastilisch und Katalanisch, zunehmend an Einfluss. Jenes Transitionsgebiet wird in dieser Arbeit in all seinen Facetten geolinguistisch beschrieben. Dabei werden nicht nur die Expertenmeinungen berücksichtigt, sondern es kommen auch - und vor allem - die Sprecher zu Wort. Methodologisch bedient sich die Untersuchung der Instrumente der perzeptiven Varietätenlinguistik. Das Ergebnis zeigt, dass der Abgleich von Experten- und Laienwissen durchaus lohnenswert ist.
