The Politics of Industrial Relations
The book provides a comprehensive analysis of Spanish unions since the Franco dictatorship. It builds on industrial relations, political science, and political economy literature to investigate the trajectory of Spanish unions. It analyzes unions as political actors, that is, their interaction and involvement with governments, political parties, and political processes.
Invisible Factories
Invisible Factories analyzes the role of the informal economy in national development and weighs alternative claims about its impact on industrial development. Detailed case studies of the electronics and shoe industries in Spain demonstrate the restructuring process. Benton examines the transformation of ideas about work and gender, the shifting lines of conflict between workers and employers, and growing tensions between national and regional interests. She shows that these elements of the workplace and national politics, rather than the logic of economic development, command the new industrial order. Benton asks how decentralization of production has affected workers, industrial growth, and the recasting of industrial policy. Explored in depth are the plight of women outworkers, the history of regional labor conflicts, and the evolution of national-level bargaining among unions, employers, and the state.
Deconstructing Flexicurity and Developing Alternative Approaches
In recent years, the concept of flexicurity has come to occupy a central place in political and academic debates regarding employment and social policy. It fosters a view in which the need for continuously increasing flexibility is the basic assumption, and the understanding of security increasingly moves from social protection to self-insurance or individual adaptability. Moreover, it rejects the traditional contradictions between flexibility and security, blending the two into a single notion and thus depoliticizing the relationships between capital and labour. This volume provides a critical discussion of the flexicurity concept, the theories upon which it is built and the ideas that it t...
Liber ordinum de la diòcesi de València (1463-1479)
El manuscrit que s’edita correspon a un ‘Liber Ordinum’ del bisbat de València en temps de Roderic de Borja com a titular d’aquesta diòcesi. Entre la documentació medieval emanada des dels bisbats, els ‘Libri Ordinum’ són els que recullen les ordenacions de clergues fetes pel bisbe de la diòcesi. En cadascuna s’inclouen dades concretes sobre els ordenats i el ministre de l’ordenació, sobre el tipus d’orde, lloc i temps, i sobre les condicions requerides als aspirants. Això ens permet conèixer la prosopografia del clergat, els seus efectius, les pràctiques i cursos seguits en l’accés a les ordes sacramentals, els orígens socials i familiars i, a més, les possibles expectatives quant a la carrera eclesiàstica, en aquest cas del bisbat de València a les darreries del segle XV.

Enemies and Familiars
A prominent Mediterranean port located near Islamic territories, the city of Valencia in the late fifteenth century boasted a slave population of pronounced religious and ethnic diversity: captive Moors and penally enslaved Mudejars, Greeks, Tartars, Russians, Circassians, and a growing population of black Africans. By the end of the fifteenth century, black Africans comprised as much as 40 percent of the slave population of Valencia. Whereas previous historians of medieval slavery have focused their efforts on defining the legal status of slaves, documenting the vagaries of the Mediterranean slave trade, or examining slavery within the context of Muslim-Christian relations, Debra Blumenthal...
La Generalitat valenciana durante el siglo XVI
La organización político-institucional por la que se rigieron los valencianos en época foral ha merecido la atención de numerosos autores. Dentro de esa organización, se encontraba la «Diputació del General», también conocida bajo el nombre de «Generalitat, creada en el siglo XIV. En este libro, basado en la investigación galardonada con el Premio «Savis en Dret» en su modalidad de derecho histórico (2012), se estudia cómo era en el siglo XVI la estructura burocrática de esta institución, cómo se accedía a los cargos, qué competencias tenían sus miembros, quiénes eran estos hombres y cómo fueron las relaciones de la institución con su entorno social y político. Igualmente, se aborda a quién pertenecía la creación del derecho, a quién se atribuía la representación política y si podemos considerar o no la actuación de muchas comisiones estamentales como una extensión temporal de las Cortes.
Women and Community in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia
Women and Community in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia draws on recent research to underscore the various ways Iberian women influenced and contributed to their communities, engaging with a broader academic discussion of women’s agency and cultural impact in the Iberian Peninsula. By focusing on women from across the socioeconomic and religious spectrum—elite, bourgeois, and peasant Christian women, Jewish, Muslim, converso, and Morisco women, and married, widowed, and single women—this volume highlights the diversity of women’s experiences, examining women’s social, economic, political, and religious ties to their families and communities in both urban and rural environments. Comprised of twelve essays from both established and new scholars, Women and Community in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia showcases groundbreaking work on premodern women, revealing the complex intersections between gender and community while highlighting not only relationships of support and inclusion but also the tensions that worked to marginalize and exclude women.
