In the Shadow of Vitoria: A History of International Law in Spain (1770-1953)
In the Shadow of Vitoria: A History of International Law in Spain (1770-1953) offers the first comprehensive treatment of the intellectual evolution of international law in Spain from the late 18th century to the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. Ignacio de la Rasilla del Moral recounts the history of the two ‘renaissances’ of Francisco de Vitoria and the Spanish Classics of International Law and contextualizes the ideological glorification of the Salamanca School by Franco’s international lawyers. Historical excursuses on the intellectual evolution of international law in the US and the UK complement the neglected history of international law in Spain from the first empire in history on which the sun never set to a diminished and fascistized national-Catholicist state.

A couple of weeks later, on February 7, the first movie was filmed on the island.

Each entry gives the original title of the film, the English translation of it, director, production c...
The Configuration of the Spanish Public Sphere
Since the explosion of the indignados movement beginning in 2011, there has been a renewed interest in the concept of the “public sphere” in a Spanish context: how it relates to society and to political power, and how it has evolved over the centuries. The Configuration of the Spanish Public Sphere brings together contributions from leading scholars in Hispanic studies, across a wide range of disciplines, to investigate various aspects of these processes, offering a long-term, panoramic view that touches on one of the most urgent issues for contemporary European societies.
Siete siglos de fraude fiscal en Europa
El proceso de creación de las formaciones políticas se vio acompañado siempre por la voluntad de extender al conjunto de la sociedad la obligación de contribuir a las cargas públicas, pero, semejante pretensión también movió a los contribuyentes a tratar de minimizar o eludir el impacto del esfuerzo que se les exigía. El problema se agudizaba en el caso de aquellas formaciones sociopolíticas en las que, como ocurría en el Antiguo Régimen, el privilegio de la exención fiscal estaba indisolublemente unido a su misma estructura. La abolición de esta situación de privilegio en el tránsito a la Revolución Liberal no anuló por entero la propensión a defraudar, pero sí forzó a ...
