This book provides a genealogy of radical Basque nationalism and the means by which this complex, often violent, political movement has reinforced Basque identity. Radical nationalists are mobilized by a shared frame of reference where ethnicity and violence are intertwined in a nostalgic recreation of a golden age and a quasi-religious imperative to restore that distant past. Muro critically examines the origins of the ethno-nationalist conflict and provides a comprehensive examination of Euskadi Ta Askatusana’s (ETA) violent campaign. The book analyzes the interplay of ethnicity and violence and stresses the role of inherited myths, memories, and cultural symbols to explain the ability of radical Basque nationalism to endure.
In 1808 Napoleon invaded Spain and deposed the king. Overnight, Hispanics were forced to confront modernity and look beyond monarchy and religion for new sources of authority. Coronado focuses on how Texas Mexicans used writing to remake the social fabric in the midst of war and how a Latino literary and intellectual life was born in the New World.
Eighteenth-century Spain drew on the Enlightenment to reconfigure its role in the European balance of power. As its force and its weight declined, Spanish thinkers discouraged war and zealotry and pursued peace and cooperation to reconfigure the international Spanish Empire.

La aprobación de la Directiva Marco del Agua (2000/60/CE) en el año 2000 ha supuesto un cambio sustancial en el paradigma de la gestión del agua. La crisis de insostenibilidad y la quiebra de la salud de los ecosistemas fluviales de agua dulce hacen necesaria una nueva gobernanza del agua en la que el enfoque ecosistémico debe primar sobre el tradicional enfoque productivista. Los ríos, arroyos, lagos, humedales, acuíferos, aguas costeras y aguas de transición deben ser entendidos y gestionados como ecosistemas complejos y diversos que albergan vida y proporcionan servicios y beneficios a la sociedad. El camino hacia la sostenibilidad, en materia de aguas, pasa por considerar nuestra condición de usufructuarios de un patrimonio hídrico natural que debemos conservar y proteger para garantizar su disfrute por las generaciones venideras. Este libro tiene por objeto resaltar los nuevos requerimientos ambientales emanados de la Directiva Marco del Agua y plantear una serie de recomendaciones acordes con los principios de la nueva cultura del agua para tender hacia una gestión sostenible del agua en Álava.
