The Spanish Language Today
The Spanish Language Today describes the varied and changing Spanish language at the end of the twentieth century. Suitable for introductory level upward, this book examines: * where Spanish is spoken on a global scale * the status of Spanish within the realms of politics, education and media * the standardisation of Spanish * specific areas of linguistic variation and change * how other languages and dialects spoken in the same areas affect the Spanish language * whether new technologies are an opportunity or a threat to the Spanish language. The Spanish Language Today contains numerous extracts from contemporary press and literary sources, a glossary of technical terms and selected translations.
Dirty War, Clean Hands
Spain's transition from the Franco dictatorship to a democratic state has been widely regarded as exemplary. However, as modern court proceedings have exposed, the first post-transition government, in attempting to destroy the Basque separatist group ETA, adopted the very policies of indiscriminate terror which characterised both the Franco regime and ETA's own strategy. In this narrative Woodworth disentangles a complex conspiracy through documentary evidence and first-hand interviews. He analyzes what happens when a democracy abandons the rule of law, showing how state terror has strengthened revolutionary terrorism and raising questions about post-Franco Spain.

Freiheitskämpfer, Terroristen, Demokraten und Faschisten
Nordirland und das spanische Baskenland waren über Jahrzehnte geprägt von politischer Gewalt. Als politische Strategie kommt Gewalt jedoch besonders in Demokratien nicht ohne Legitimation aus. Die fortdauernde Existenz bewaffneter Gruppen in beiden Regionen lässt sich daher nur vor dem Hintergrund der Perzeption ihrer Gewalt und des Staatshandelns erklären. Das Augenmerk dieser Studie liegt darum auf den öffentlichen Aushandlungsprozessen der nationalistischen Bewegungen. Was wurde unter Gewalt verstanden? Welche Ausprägungen als verboten oder gar als geboten angesehen? Die Analyse der Gewaltdiskurse zeigt, wie es zum Ende der Gewaltanwendung kam, ohne dass die bewaffneten Gruppen ihre Kernziele erreicht hatten.
Amnesties, Pardons and Transitional Justice
In a consolidated democracy, amnesties and pardons do not sit well with equality and a separation of powers; however, these measures have proved useful in extreme circumstances, such as transitions from dictatorships to democracies, as has occurred in Greece, Portugal and Spain. Focusing on Spain, this book analyses the country's transition, from the antecedents from 1936 up to the present, within a comparative European context. The amnesties granted in Greece, Portugal and Spain saw the release of political prisoners, but in Spain amnesty was also granted to those responsible for the grave violations of human rights which had been committed for 40 years. The first two decades of the democra...
