Poverty and Social Exclusion around the Mediterranean Sea
The events taking place in several of South Mediterranean countries since December 2010 show that multiple deprivations may be powerful drivers of political instability. Though improvements of the living conditions have been regularly principal demands along with civil and political liberties in the demonstrations, one of the main striking facts about this so-called “Arab Spring” is that poverty had not been given the same emphasis in southern Mediterranean countries during the last decades as in other areas of the developing and emerging world. Although the growing recognition that poverty is a multidimensional concept, studies of poverty in South Mediterranean countries have often been...
Welfare and the Welfare State
The welfare state plays a key role in people’s everyday lives in developed societies. At the same time, the welfare state is contested and there are constant discussions on how and to what degree the state should intervene, influence and have an impact on the development of society.

La primera puerta del espanto
Una niebla densa y fría cala hasta los cimientos de Valparaíso y los huesos de sus habitantes. Y entre esa bruma se mueven los protagonistas, que miran al mar aunque a veces no se vea: una fiscal ambiciosa, un policía enamorado e incorruptible, otro completamente corrupto que ama a su familia, un heredero perezoso ante su legado de poder y toda una galería de personajes tan posibles que creemos conocerlos de antemano y siempre nos sorprenden. Como testigo atemorizado, un perito fotográfico melómano y otoñal que presiente lo que los demás ignoran: algo oscuro se mueve en la ciudad, relacionado con rituales satánicos y música black metal como banda sonora. Algo tan viejo como el mar, quizá, aunque mucho más mortal. Con esta su primera incursión en el género, Miguel Vargas Román irrumpe en el panorama de la novela negra, aportando elementos poco usuales y creando, al mismo tiempo, un entorno tan real que lo que se cuenta en La primera puerta del espanto podría estar ocurriendo ahora mismo, mientras te dispones a leer este libro...

Matanzas de Loreto

En reino extraño
Fra Tomás Gómez, docte monjo cistercenc castellà, va deixar escrita a la seua mort una extensa memòria manuscrita en què conta -els rars i mai oïts successos- de la seua visita d'inspecció al reial monestir de Valldigna. El relat autobiogràfic ens trasllada a la València de mitjan del segle XVII vista per un castellà vell que se sent 'en regne estrany', menyspreat i assetjat pels que s'oposen a la seua missió. En aquest relat, assistim a una lluita política pel control dels monestirs cistercencs de la Corona d'Aragó, que enfronta dos importants ministres de la monarquia en l'inici del regnat de Carles II. L'edició del manuscrit s'acompanya d'estudis que situen l'obra i l'autor en el context de l'agitada vida de l'època, i que permeten conèixer el desenllaç de la visita, no revelat en la inconclusa Relaciones de fra Tomás.
